Backing vocals might be "fake" but you can always tell the difference between the studio versions and the live versions. Tony often does the backing vocals himself, but his live singing is always real. There are changes that let you know.
They use tracked backing vocals, but _also_ sing some of them live, it usually depends on the song. This one is very _"theatrical"_ so they stick with the tracked stuff. Check 8th Commandment for an example of their actual live back vocals. They have an old DVD version, and there's also a more modern recording from Wacken 2017.
They used to put those weird track chorus idk why but they have really good compositions and good shows recorded. Check "abandoned, pleased, brainwashed, exploited" great song
Yeah, don't know why the vocal pantomiming, when Toni is obviously the only one really singing here, except for maybe Henrick on keyboards. I'd have to see the rest of the show to know if this was a special case, considering this song has so much vocal stuff going on on the album. They have the live dvd called For The Sake Of Revenge where it's very clear that the backing vocals are live. My theory is, it's because their original guitarist Jani was potent with BV which the less learned(?) members could add to. By this time, Jani left, and it looks like the extra mics are there more as a suggestion. Or it's both tracked+live BV here, was tricky to tell at a couple points. If it was _all_ tracked BV then I don't think they were rebelling, no, but I also don't think they(especially new guitarist) were at all comfortable doing it.
Those mics do work and they DO sing backing vocals live. (eg: 'fullmoon' from this same concert) It's just that for more 'theatrical' or 'grandiose' songs, tracked backing vocals are also used.

These live concert sounds muchbetter and different live in audience than recorded version

a fantastic voice and a good drive
This song is perfect to Ms. Heretic, she loves lyrics and the lyrics from this song are absolutely madness

The backing vocals hits me too the first time i heard the studio version. Good Live performance except the lip syncing and reaction
My natural reaction was they are singing, but they've been cut off for this video
I'm disappointed that the backing vocals weren't live, I'm insulted about the lip sync job, the song is great but the live performance null and void

A lot of power metal bands do this kind of thing unfortunately. Too many tracks rather than going for a more stripped down raw sound.
