Dutch Doom Death Metal legends ASPHYX are back with another extremely energetic sign of life after their bonecrushing and highly acclaimed “Death…The Brutal Way” studio album comeback from 2009. “Live Death Doom” represents not only the band’s first official DVD release, but it will also be available as 2CD and Digital Download audio-release, actually marking ASPHYX’s first-ever official live album in their 20+ years of (diabolical) existence!

The band comments on “Live Death Doom” as follows: “So finally, after over 23 years here's the first ASPHYX live album. And our dedicated fans worldwide who've experienced us live know what that means: Heavy old school death doom metal played the way it was meant to be…and still should be today! Headbanging, grinning, drooling, spitting, sweating, passion, loud volume, stagediving, beer, honesty and brutality. No make up or fancy queercostumes, no superfluous attributes, no technical rubbish, no compromises. This is how we are, this is how we want you to have us!”, before adding: “We are very proud of this release. Very damn fucken proud, as this is exactly us! We would never have brought it out if we weren't 100% behind it…but it would never have been possible without our incredible loyal fans, of which we are even more proud! We'll see you all somewhere, sometime again at one of our shows on this planet and then raise our beers and horns together. Cheerz!”

The “Live Death Doom” DVD features the previously an intense +2 hours main live-show recorded at the completely sold out Turock venue in Essen / Germany on July 4th, 2009 as well as an in-depth +1 hour historical band-documentary and tons of krushing additional bonus material. The total DVD playing time is approximately 225 minutes.

The main live show’s audio (which equals the CD format content) was mixed and mastered by producer Dan Swanö (Bloodbath, Edge Of Sanity, etc.), who had previously taken care of the sonic brilliance for the “Death…The Brutal Way” album. The total 2CD playing time is approximately 110 minutes.

The glorious old-school artwork for “Live Death Doom” (which can be seen on top!) was created by Axel Hermann, who had previously been responsible for the artworks of band’s classic releases from the 90’s. The DVD was coordinated and edited by Oliver “Bomber” Barth / www.visions-in-fear.de and will be released via Century Media Records in Europe on August 30th, 2010.
