The tracklist features 11 tracks, all untitled of course... but despite their more folky form and interpretation, one will
easily recognise 'Many Enemies Bring Much Honour', a great cover version of the Death In June 'Despair' song (originally on
the 'Take Care and Control' album) with, I presume, Bain Wolfkind on vocals, a track from "When All Else Fails!" (with an
appropriate and revenchist new chorus 'Me ne frego!'), 'Time Is Thee Enemy', the classic 'Vaterland' and the track
including the 'Never Surrender / Never Give Up' chorus to conclude this special concert. A couple of unreleased songs were
also played that night.
As for the artwork, black is the dominant colour... The cd comes in a nice black digipack with black embossed letterings
and a photo of the performance on the cover. 'Live at The Monastery' is also available as a limited gatefold LP edition.

For this occasion, the line up was extended to six musicians on stage playing acoustic instruments only… which is the
point, interest and surprise of this live recording.
As mentioned above, all these songs were performed with acoustic instruments only (drums, clarinet, percussions,
guitar...) and these new versions really work out fine. A ponctual (that makes this concert and recording special) and
different facet of Der Blutharsch that is worth being listened... especially as the quality of this live recording is also
at the rendez-vous.
