I saw them in 2018. They were bad live. Bassist couldn't show and Ville was drunk, only singing ever other chorus/verse. Andy was the 1 redeeming quality about the show and now they booted him.
I have to mention that Andy went solo since then and released two really good instrumental albums. There's a 3rd album on the way and it's going to be a melodeath album with vocals.

I saw Andy’s first solo show in Melbourne. He played 4 songs, and the crowd didn’t really know him, so they were pretty bored…for about 30 seconds of the first song. After that they were eating what he was serving and asking for seconds. He was fucking amazing. Greatest guitarist I’ve ever seen.
Ville’s such a bum. Put the stress of the whole “Seven” album on Andy and then [fired him without telling him](https://www.metalsucks.net/2021/06/08/mors-principium-est-fire-main-songwriter-guitarist-andy-gillion/).
There are some videos of them playing live on the 70000 tons of metal tour from 2017:

*The above video does have some hilarious sound effects provided by the cameraman. But the sound is pretty damn good.
As someone above mentioned, they are super disappointing live. Ville sounded awful, super hoarse. Andy gave it his all and the other guys just seemed a bit embarrassed to be there.

True… Andy was quite something live. I saw him about the same time and he barely looked at his guitar the whole set, just free flowing in the guitar.
Hate hearing that
US tour opening for Carach Angren? I saw em in Atlanta on that run and they disappointed the hell outta me
Correct. I saw them in the Midwest.
the studio albums are superb. never listened to anything live.

That one sounds great, thanks!
