The DVD/CD was recorded on February 11th, 2006 at the historic Rockefeller Musichall in Oslo, Norway. The band enlisted renowned film and video director Patric Ullaeus (DIMMU BORGIR, LACUNA COIL, IN FLAMES) to chronicle the night's events. Bringing with him from Gothenberg, Sweden, Patric had a large crew of professionals and equipment, including 18 cameras, that would be used in and around the concert grounds. The title for the band's first DVD to date (based on an earlier Kamelot song title) was chosen long before the actual shoot. Ironically this winter turned out to be one of the longest and coldest in the country's history, with enormous amounts of snow and numerous chaos-causing blizzards.

Raven has scheduled to return to the studio in this November/early December to record their new materials for new album which due in early 2007. Touring dates are still being planned.

RAVEN bassist/vocalist John Gallagher has commented on the band's recent recording session at Assembly Line Studios with Kevin 131 ( PROJECT: FAILING FLESH , DECEASED , DYSRYTHMIA , GARDEN OF SHADOWS ) engineering and mixing, which produced four new songs — "Against The Grain" , "Running Around In Circles" , "Breaking You Down" and "Necessary Evil" .

Fans asked on the band message board about whether the new songs will be re-recorded for the upcoming album, Gallagher said " They are more than good enough to go on the album. We may tweak the mix a little but it's not really needed — they sound THAT good. Actually, I had half of 'Against the Grain' when we did the last album and finished it up a lot later. The production is clear — uncluttered and powerful. Very straightforward... kinda [like] 'Life's a Bitch' with better drum sounds maybe."
