Over the course of a
number of trips STS9 has made to Japan something becomes more and
more apparent with each visit... It feels like a home so far far away from home
that's for the most part, beyond description.  Whether it's the incredibly
welcoming culture of the Japanese people or the lack of a language barrier
between STS9 and their fans from Nippon, since day one of our inter-continental
travels to the Land of the Rising Sun have been greeted with open arms like no
place other.  With all that said, nothing could have prepared the band, or
the 15,000 fans at this past summer's Metamorphose Festival for what transpired
in the hot and humid early morning hours of Sunday August 26th, 2007. 
What you'll find here are both sets, in their entirety, of music that turned a
mass of thousands into what the band described as "the reason they play
music".  With the sun creeping up over the mountains surrounding
Metamorphose the band delivered two stirring sets that we fear might have been
lost in translation to those of you state-side that may have let this one slip
under your radar.  Well, here it is, from start to finish and we're
confident that even 6 months later, the magic that was STS9's encore
performance to their week long stay in Japan lives on in the hearts and
minds of everyone that was lucky enough to attend.
