Full Length DVD : shoumei : (defined as ilumination and/or proof) Faith and the Muse released their 6th album : ankoku butoh : in November, 2009 and brought this extraordinary live show to the UK and Europe in the Fall of 2009, and then through North America in the Spring of 2010. Heralded as their best live show to date, this DVD captures the band in fine form, bringing the newest as well as classic songs of Faith and the Muse to life.

Never short on the theatrical, this tour features taiko drums, a string quartet, the dance troupe Serpentine, and a ride through both the historical catalog and newer material. The performance on this DVD was recorded with multiple cameras and a full 24 track audio recording. The disc is full of extras including the official video for Sovereign, backstage footage, and more.

If you saw this tour, this is the memento that will continue to illuminate the feeling and experience of being there...if you missed this tour, this is the film that will convince you to never again miss Faith and the Muse when they come through your town...
