I haven't recorded the whole set because one of my batteries went dead on me. That was a pity because I would have liked to film more of Anneke and Arstidir. It is rumoured though that maybe there will be a DVD depending on the quality of the material. Let's hope it will come out soon.

I did not have any particular expectation of this show, since I am a Symphonic Metal fan and most PoS fans know that Daniel has been taking his band in a whole different direction that can hardly be labeled metal or any genre for that matter. Therefore I was totally surprised of how good and entertaining the whole performance was including the performances of our own Dutch singer/songwriter girl Anneke van Giersbergen and Árstíðir an Islandic band that blew away the audience with their musical and singing skills and touching melodies.
All skeptics and die-hard metal fans who still believe PoS are just another rock/metal band should either wake up and go see other 13 in a dozen metal bands or they should embrace the musicality and enjoy the wonderful music and poetry Daniel and PoS are sharing with us today.

Thank you Daniel, PoS, Anneke and Árstíðir for having invited us in your living room and in your world.
