@derthomas Ha! I happen to love the vocals on this, I think they go well with the frenzy, with the aggression.
I'd be curious to know what you think about newer live versions, though for Europe after the Rain there aren't many good ones (just a few recorded at festivals and the one on Past Life Trauma, all the others are really bad quality) and none of them really new, most recent is Wacken 2008 (from the Phantom Antichrist bonus DVD).
