The video "Live at the Necropolis: the Lords of Synth" follows a dramatic and fantastical musical competition where three renowned synthesizer artists—Xangelix, Morgio Zoroger, and Carla Wendos—compete to score the movements of Halley's Comet. Commentators Edgar Tangram and Zedd Centuari frame it as a historic cultural event. Notable figures like East German gold medalist Gerwalt Auersberg, Zorro III, and former President Gerald Ford make appearances as the synth legends engage in a musically intense battle.

As the comet approaches Earth, the dramatic tension escalates with President Ford being escorted to safety. Each artist utilizes unique synth techniques and instruments, but their sonic dissonance hastens the comet's pace towards Earth, leading to widespread panic.

Amidst the chaos, a collaborative effort ensues, producing a rejuvenatory octave through their combined musical synergy, revitalizing the audience and resurrecting Panos the Wonder Child. This musical harmony ultimately neutralizes the comet, turning it into a frozen second moon in the sky. The participants achieve personal and musical harmony, receiving golden medals and the title of Lords of Synth from President Ford, who abruptly ends his speech as the broadcast concludes, reminding viewers to support the station and buy a VHS recording of the event.

The focus then shifts to the participants gathering on stage to score Halley’s Comet, with Xangelix producing stunning synchronization with the comet. Morgio Zoroger begins leading, using his Clavitronulator to match the comet’s flares. Carla Wendos employs subtle patchwork to stay competitive.

However, Carla Wendos scores an impressive tritone causing a reaction from Xangelix, who retaliates with an augmented 18th that impacts only the women in attendance. The comet appears to be drawing closer, possibly influenced by the sonic dissonance created by the synth performances.
