Product Description

A classic blast from the glorious past! German thrash metal legends Kreator offer up the rare 'At The Pulse Of Kapitulation - Live in East Berlin 1990' for the very first time on DVD. Upgraded to a 5.1 mix via producer Andy Sneap and loaded with bonus footage, this is truly a dream come true for Kreator fans. In the words of band leader Mille Petrozza: "Words don t do justice to the energy that was in the air that day in East Berlin, and the whole event can only be described as utterly unique and historic."

5.0 out of 5 stars Killer Killer Killer!, April 12, 2008

By	Jeffrey Blosser (Reynoldsburg, oh United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: At the Pulse of Kapitulation: Live in East Berlin, 1990 (DVD/CD) (DVD)

First of all Andy Sneap is the BEST audio engineer! I mean, who can take an 18 year old recording and make it sound like this. My two favorite bands are Kreator and Nevermore and I am lucky he works with both bands, his talent for mixing and producing makes recordings timeless.

Now for this video.. I remember seeing the Extreme Agression tour in Cincinnati (Coroner was the opener). It was so cool how this video captured the power of Kreator, they are just unreal live and this video does not dissapoint. You can imagine how cool it was for the fans of East Germany with the wall just coming down, most seeing Kreator for the first time. It is a must have!

I understand how the other reviewer felt as to the video not having anything from Coma on it, but there were so many great songs dropped from Kreator's set during that tour, it just proves that they have such a huge catalog of great songs.

Now that King has a bad back and Kreator will not be back in the US for a while this will have to hold me over until a Jan 09 when they are looking to possibly putting out a new album. Oh, and when Mille say's that they are working on new songs and they are BRUTAL, you can take that to heart, it's not like Larz saying the new Metallica album is going to sound like Puppets haha..

KREATOR rules and I look forward to seeing them in the states.

5.0 out of 5 stars An important piece of metal history for the first time on dvd, April 9, 2008

By	Michael (FL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: At the Pulse of Kapitulation: Live in East Berlin, 1990 (DVD/CD) (DVD)

At first, it seems like this release is another way to prolong the time between the release of 2005's Enemy Of God (which was then reissued as Enemy Of God Revisited) and now. But picking up this dvd/cd set, you know why Kreator had to do it. The concert filmed back in 1990 (orignally on VHS, now for the first time on dvd and cd) was one of the first since the fall of the Berlin Wall, and it's no coincidence that the mood is captured perfectly. German metalheads celebrated seeing one of their favorite bands like it was Christmas, and the energy of the music and lyrics captured the feeling of freedom that was endured. Enough rambling. The concert is excellent. The audio was remixed by legendary metal producer Andy Sneap (also worked on Live Kreation, Violent Revolution, and Enemy Of God) who captures the old vibe of the performance using todays recording technology to make it sound almost like the old is new again. My only complaint is that there's no songs from Coma Of Souls, but since it was recorded before the album, I can't fault it. Extras include the short documentary The Past And Now which chronicles the fall of the Berlin Wall and the effect of it to today, and that fateful performance in East Berlin, as well as the band's popularity to this day. Also included for the first time on dvd is Hallucinative Comas: the short, artful horror piece that was inspired by the Coma Of Souls album, now a director's cut which is complete without the interview footage that was said to have disrupted the flow of the orignal.

So, if you're a fan, chances are you've probably been looking for Live In East Berlin when it was on VHS. First time fans should also check out Live Kreation, and Enemy Of God Revisited.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great package, March 26, 2010

By	Daniel Zarza "Zarza" (Merced, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: At the Pulse of Kapitulation: Live in East Berlin, 1990 (DVD/CD) (DVD)

This Dvd/cd combo is a very good package for starters. The live performance was great, all songs are done so well live that sound even better then the studio recording. First time I seen it, it sent shivers down my spine! The live performance is the main event of the dvd and it is remarkable I'll not deny that and it should be the reason the buy this. The extra's on the Dvd however, are ok. The Hallucinative Comas section was good but don't let the "Directors Cut" label fool you into thinking its extended because its not! It's been cut by about half of what it originally was, so if you're buying this for Hallucinative Comas, you will be disappointed. I honestly don't know why they did but its like that, but I did like what I saw. The Past And Now documentary wasn't very interesting but I did learn a thing or two from it, although I would've found it much more interesting if they members of Kreator at the time were there to talk about it. The audio CD great because the performance was so remarkable, and the packaging was cool. I expected a regular dvd case but I got this cool fold out with a slip-on on top.

And now for technical things that I didn't like very much. Things you should know before you buy it:
*Although this dvd is remastered in "widescreen", its really not. There's not actual widescreen mode, only standard 4:3 Mode, so if you have a widescreen TV, the picture will be stretched with those annoying black bars. You can always zoom which is a quick solution to that.

And probably the most annoying thing I have on this is that its slightly OFF SYNC!! towards the end of the set the audio and video started to be out of place and I found it very frustrating and annoying.

Bottom line: This package is great for every hardcore Kreator fan that just wants to hear the old, raw and fast stuff. I wouldn't buy it for the list price though, I would get it from one of these fine sellers who sell it at a lower price, I would say its worth about 20 bucks at most.
