What makes this even more impressive is the lack of sheet music in front of them.

Thanks for posting! That was way more Metal than I expected. The camera work...not so much.

I can watch POV roller coaster videos with no problems, but the jerky panning in closeup was nauseating

I kept waiting for Robert Fripp to walk on stage.

Sounds like a strange giant piano, which makes sense I suppose.

Interesting. Although ... I'm not such a huge fan of metal music that I think everything sounds better with an electric guitar ... but I think this might have been better with a handful of electric guitars in the mix. Greater dynamic range, maybe? I mean, there are parts of that piece that have always impressed me as wanting to get out and be as loud and in your face as possible.
