Sleeping Beauty: Live in Israel

Recorded during Tiamat's Clouds tour, this five-song release hardly smacks of an "official" live album for the Swedish metal innovators, but hardcore fans will certainly be pleased with its excellent sound quality. The band proves itself amply capable of reproducing their complex progressive death metal in a live setting, and though all songs sound great, "Mountain of Doom" and "The Sleeping Beauty" are especially impressive.
