The disc, which was recorded September 25 in London, contains the band's mellow and heavy set with a running time of approximately an hour each, as well as a unique 65-minute documentary about the group with in-depth focus on the recording of "Deliverance" and "Damnation". "Lamentations…", which was mixed by "Deliverance" mixer and co-producer Andy Sneap, also includes exclusive interviews with the band and producer.
