Additionally, one DVD contains an extensively produced documentary about our band which shows everything what we have done and what happened to us with the band during the last five years. The viewers can watch all this within two hours of entertainment and excitement.
When I watched the final version for the first time, with all the tour episodes from North and South America, Europe, Mexico and Australia, I had goose skin for several times.
With this movie, the viewer can get a very close experience with our band, he will be taken with us on our world tour!”

Vocalist extraordinaire Liv Kristine and her companions have conquered the hearts of their fans with a unique blend of atmospheric and sonorous symphonic music, and lyrics inspired by Northern mythology.

Since its beginnings, Leaves' Eyes has played 222 shows in 34 countries, including repeatedly dates in North America and Canada and South America, Mexico, Australia and Russia and of course many European countries.
To date the band's undisputed career highlight has been their headlining show at the Metal Female Voices Festival in Belgium. This performance was shot on video and filmed under the name En Saga I Belgia. Now the wait is finally over, as this amazing concert will be released on DVD and double CD!
