We love this band immensely and raise our glasses to all of their fantastic releases. This lovingly dropped very recently as a thank you to their fans, this is a gnarly live set that features from both their killer first EP Summer of Seum to their album this year, the dirty masterpiece that is Winterized.
Now live albums tend to divide fans, but this like all masterfully captured live albums makes you feel you are at the gig and breathing in all the beer, smoke and distortion. The song selection is so spot on and a shrewd mix of their killer first EP and the latest album. Everything works well because it's as dirty and gritty as all their releases-but louder and more forceful. As with everything this band drops, it is utterly about distorted atmosphere and groove. It drips in gloomy doom and sludge but is quite punky and raw. This album is great for long drives, the gym or pretty much any time where you need to power up. Highlights are: Life Grinder-wow didn't think you could add more evil in an already mayhemic beast of a track, Sea Sick Six is just a raging beast and Winter of Seum(always a fave of mine) sounds darker than on the album version and even more Sabbathy is that if even possible.
The live recording is spot on and sounds dynamic and as bold as it should.
This band is a music machine that is dark and drips feeds each release so you can count the seconds to the next amazing release. Great band and sick releases!!.
