Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the forthcoming release of a very special live album/long-form video from German prog metal masters Vanden Plas on August 5, 2022. "Live & Immortal" is a special addition to the storied catalog of Vanden Plas as, aside from the "The Seraphic Live Works", a live recording of their revered 70 minute performance at Progpower USA 2011, it is the band's first complete show to be released on long-form video. Pre-order/save "Live & Immortal" on 2CD/DVD, Blu-ray, Limited Edition Gold 2xLP, & Digital HERE: orcd.co/vandenplaslive Recorded December 30, 2016 in their hometown of Kaiserslautern, Germany, Vanden Plas put forth an epic performance in front of an enthusiastic crowd. The bulk of the setlist is based on the two "Chronicles Of The Immortals" albums (2013 and 2014, respectively) and additionally, includes tracks that have never been played live before, like the atmospheric "Scarlet Flower Fields" and "The Final Murder", which reveals itself to be a captivating 11 minute monster. Fans can also expect all-time favorites from the band's repertoire like "Holes In The Sky", "Iodic Rain", "Postcard To God", and "Christ 0". Recorded, mixed, and mastered by the long-time Vanden Plas sound engineer Markus Teske at Bazement Studios, "Live & Immortal", delivers a clear, powerful sound which brings the live feeling through the speakers straight into your eagerly awaiting ears. Oliver Barth, who worked with the band on their music videos for "Stone Roses Edge" and "When The World Is Falling Down", filmed the show. Editing was done by Björn Widmann and Andreas Lill. Fans who have seen Vanden Plas perform live know what they can expect out the band on stage: a powerful and energetic show, paired with a skillful, empathic musicianship. And for those who haven't had the chance to see the quintet yet, now is the time to enjoy a Vanden Plas appearance live in your home! “Live & Immortal” Tracklisting CD/DVD and BR: CD1 1.

Can't believe I've been listening to this anthem for nearly 20 years. This performance is as good as the studio recording and in some ways better. 🎸🎹🥁🎤🤘
I saw Vanden Plas live at wacken open air festival in Germany, i don't remember the exact year since i saw more than 500 live shows in my life, there were a lot of people at the show but nobody was pushing to be close to the stage so i was very close to the stage, like 5 meters far, it was a fantastic show of a great band, i loved this band from the first time i've heard them, it was the song rainmaker on a compilation, thanks for sharing, cheers!
I've been into these guys since 1997 and they're definitely one of my favorite bands. I have yet to see them in concert, so I'm hoping to see them in the very near future!
One day before the rain only for a moment the earth inhales again It seems like time stood still before the wind creeping to the trees upon the hill And a blind man finds a way between the beauty and decay Over roses in the dust, behind doors are made to rust Lies a field of a thousand nails beneath cemetery vales And one day before the rain He is searching there again Where no one ever meets And one day before the rain He is searching there again Where no one ever meets on the Scarlet Flower Fields The scent of sweet perfume is a lair of pale illusions with a tainted Paris tune The dark an lonely side binds this liquid marriage for shadows and the light Somewhere by the fireside lies a man, eyes open wide Flee on the effect of plants, he translates and understands For the hidden side to see in this secret poetry And one day before the rain He is searching there again Where no one ever meets And one day before the rain He is searching there again Where no one ever meets On the Scarlet Flower Fields And one day before the rain He is searching there again Where no one ever meets And one day before the rain He is searching there again Where no one ever meets On the Scarlet Flower Fields On the Scarlet Flower Fields On the Scarlet Flower Fields On the Scarlet Flower Fields
Awesome .. love this song. Only ever saw you guys once - in London, supporting Dream Theater - 1998 maybe - Torsten had broken his leg but was still on stage playing! Looking forward to the DVD.
Excellent musiciens et quel chanteur! Tous les albums sont bons voir très bons. Ce groupe nous délivre des instants magiques a son écoute. C est puissant , c est beau , c'est Vanden Plas.
Been a fan for many many years, love every album and their live performances are amazing!!! So happy this new release came out. Aside from dream theater these guys are the best prog band, so incredibly under rated! They don’t know how to write and play a bad song, truly brilliant!!!
At the moment i am working as an extra at my local theatre and these guys wrote a play I am lucky to be a part of. All of them are extremely talented musicians and especially Andy is such a nice guy. It's quite the experience sharing a stage and chatting with them behind the scenes. :)
Wow! That is a brilliant live performance. I wish VP would come tour the US. I know they have played Prog Power before, but I've never been able to make it all the way down thee to Georgia. Beyond Daylight remains one of my fav VP albums. Top 1 or 2.
Great band! Watched them during the first few years in the mid-1990s. Great to see them release a full live-album. Unfortunately, Frontiers cotinue their policy of failed live-releases. If you want the Blu-Ray and the respective CDs, you have to buy the DVD/CD-version and the Blu-Ray. Unfortunately for the bands, I do not support this kind of rip-off by the record label.
Germany isn't known for making good music. There are some bands I like to listen to. Helloween, Edguy or Gamma Ray for example. Vanden Plas are on a complete different level though. They can truly compete with the best like Dream Theater or PoS. Sometimes I even forget they're from Germany.

totally underrated band
"Beyond Daylight" my favorite by far of theirs!
The best German Band!!!
Vanden Plas is always in my favorite bands list 🤘
Can't believe I've been listening to this anthem for nearly 20 years. This performance is as good as the studio recording and in some ways better. 🎸🎹🥁🎤🤘
Wow! A new discovery for me. Thank you Germany, thank you Vanden Plas, thank you Frontiers Records.
These guys are under rated
MASSIVELY.
These guys bring consistency, accuracy and musicality to a new level! One of the best bands out there!
I saw Vanden Plas live at wacken open air festival in Germany, i don't remember the exact year since i saw more than 500 live shows in my life, there were a lot of people at the show but nobody was pushing to be close to the stage so i was very close to the stage, like 5 meters far, it was a fantastic show of a great band, i loved this band from the first time i've heard them, it was the song rainmaker on a compilation, thanks for sharing, cheers!
these guys deserved a lot more recognition, my favorite prog metal band. I hope to see you one day live in my country of Brazil 🇧🇷.
I've been into these guys since 1997 and they're definitely one of my favorite bands. I have yet to see them in concert, so I'm hoping to see them in the very near future!
Wow, first time listening to this band. Epic!
the best band ever
I love this song, great memories for me !
Excellent band
Amazing band, amazing, vanden plas always brilliant
Wow, what an amazing voice. Sound is great.
Amazing, amazing band!! Progmetal Gods!!
Love this band.
I like the longer ending ... I could have listened even a while longer 🤘😍
Great live performance
Fucking brilliant. Such an amazing band. Can't believe how easy they make it look to play progressive metal at such a high level.
Vanden Plas, ihr seid großartig!Macht bitte weiter so!
One day before the rain only for a moment the earth inhales again
It seems like time stood still before the wind creeping to the trees upon the hill
And a blind man finds a way between the beauty and decay
Over roses in the dust, behind doors are made to rust
Lies a field of a thousand nails beneath cemetery vales
And one day before the rain
He is searching there again
Where no one ever meets
And one day before the rain
He is searching there again
Where no one ever meets
on the Scarlet Flower Fields
The scent of sweet perfume is a lair of pale illusions with a tainted Paris tune
The dark an lonely side binds this liquid marriage for shadows and the light
Somewhere by the fireside lies a man, eyes open wide
Flee on the effect of plants, he translates and understands
For the hidden side to see in this secret poetry
And one day before the rain
He is searching there again
Where no one ever meets
And one day before the rain
He is searching there again
Where no one ever meets
On the Scarlet Flower Fields
And one day before the rain
He is searching there again
Where no one ever meets
And one day before the rain
He is searching there again
Where no one ever meets
On the Scarlet Flower Fields
On the Scarlet Flower Fields
On the Scarlet Flower Fields
On the Scarlet Flower Fields
My favorite song from band VP. Live version of this song is simply superb.👍🎸🎹
Even the lead singer plays air guitar! Fantastic!
Great song / Great group.
Awesome .. love this song. Only ever saw you guys once - in London, supporting Dream Theater - 1998 maybe - Torsten had broken his leg but was still on stage playing! Looking forward to the DVD.
Vanden Plas is brilliant ! They are all mine and one day- they are going to be the biggest band in history!
Loved then way back in the old days and still do
I don't know too much about this band, but I am definitely becoming a fan! Rock on!🤘😎🤘🔥🎵🎶
Start with the album "Beyond Daylight' that this song comes from. What a great album. They never disappoint.
Awesome! I'll check it out.
Start at the beginning with Colour Temple or The God Thing. "Father" or "Rainmaker" are both kick ass tunes.
Excellent musiciens et quel chanteur! Tous les albums sont bons voir très bons. Ce groupe nous délivre des instants magiques a son écoute. C est puissant , c est beau , c'est Vanden Plas.
just perfect...
Been a fan for many many years, love every album and their live performances are amazing!!! So happy this new release came out. Aside from dream theater these guys are the best prog band, so incredibly under rated! They don’t know how to write and play a bad song, truly brilliant!!!
Awesome as ever.
Amazing,
Pfff another awesome song
Great vocalist and vocal technique! ;)
Une des plus belles chansons de Vanden Plas (si pas la plus belle ?) , avec un live qui lui rend vraiment hommage. Magique !
Grandissimi, e che voce! Grande resa live.
Really is a dream of mine to see them play here in the US. But I will try to make it out to Europe once they're back on tour.
This performance makes me at least as happy as drummer Andreas Lill seems to be in 3:11 in the video. ☺️🤘😍
Andreas is such a joy to watch. He never seems to be pushing the envelope but he plays some pretty astounding stuff.
Goosebumps! One of my favorites bands!
Soooo geil
At the moment i am working as an extra at my local theatre and these guys wrote a play I am lucky to be a part of.
All of them are extremely talented musicians and especially Andy is such a nice guy.
It's quite the experience sharing a stage and chatting with them behind the scenes. :)
Da anni la mia rock band favorita. 👏👏👏
Wow! That is a brilliant live performance. I wish VP would come tour the US. I know they have played Prog Power before, but I've never been able to make it all the way down thee to Georgia. Beyond Daylight remains one of my fav VP albums. Top 1 or 2.
Banda Simplesmente Épica minha banda favorita de Progressive Metal.
Wow thanks! I'll order it
This band knows how to mix Prog with AOR. They sounds fantastic. And this voice... Damn!
Интеллигенция.
🔥❤️
Great band! Watched them during the first few years in the mid-1990s. Great to see them release a full live-album.

Is there a studio version of this track?
Give some credit to the audio mixer. Sounds like an album.
✨🖤✨
👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️😁🤘🇧🇷🤩

besser geht nicht, just imho !!!!!!!

VP>DT
Musically, yes. Technically, probably not. DT tends to be heavier on the whole, but VP can slam for sure. Frequency comes to mind...killer.
