- -- Release notes ---------------------------------------------------- -- -
Live At Roadburn 2013 is more then just a great introduction
for all those not already familiar with this band. This
electrifying live set (you can almost feel the sweat coming
of the walls!) has absolutely much more to offer than just
being a kind of compilation.
With only one track below the 10 minutes mark you know youÆre
in for a treat: an hour filled with colossal doomy jams. The
rhythm section: Jack Donovan on bass and Matthew Couto on
drums, lay down the groove for mesmerising riffs and
psychedelic soloÆs by guitarist Nicholas DiSalvo. And whatÆs
more, within these instrumental wizardry there is actually a
lot of melody which is often a problem in this kind of music.
The trio really manages to enhance the original studio
tracks, even the vocals of Nicholas sound much better to me.
Bottomline: Elder delivered a stunning performance here that
could be the final breakthrough of this band in the scene.
Very recommended.
