ICED EARTH - "We Went To Cyprus And Attempted The Impossible"
January 3, 2013, 11 years ago
ICED EARTH has issued the following update in regard to their Live In Ancient Kourion DVD, which is due in early April; it was filmed/recorded on August 19th, 2012 at the Kourion Ancient Theatre in Limassol, Cyprus.
"As we are editing the DVD and getting to the finishing line, there is one thing where we very much want your input.We went to Cyprus and attempted the impossible: to film a DVD with very little or no infrastructure in an amphitheatre that had never seen a rock show before.
We did it, the results are amazing and we are very excited about the outcome - we feel this DVD is something to be truly proud of.
However, we did promise you it would be a BluRay Disk release as well and here's where you come in:
As we reviewed the footage, it became apparent that the cameras did not record in high enough resolution to be able to do a BluRay in 1080p resolution.
It is 720p and it looks really, really good, but it's not 1080p.
Iced Earth is a band that cares about their fans and would never do anything that could even remotely feel dishonest. That's why we felt this path of involving you, our fans, is the best way for us to judge what we should do.
With this being said: Would you want us to make a Blu-Ray Disk regardless of the fact that it is not true 1080p resolution?
Please make your voices heard - we consider this (the band's official Facebook page) our true sounding board."
