I have been on bit of a CONAN binge since their amazing set at Desertfest recently and been working my way through the quite sizable discography (considering they have not been around for an age!). One thing that I did notice is that most of the recordings do seem to fall short of re-producing the quality and sheer heaviness of their live performances. This record however, like most of the Live at Roadburn series seems to nail it perfectly.

The massive rumbles, the nasty feedback and the distant bellowing chants are all captured perfectly and the set choice is absolutely magnificent. Starting with the almost never ending ‘Krull’ it just projects you to the festival and (with the right volume) makes you feel as if your there in person. also featuring my favorites ‘Hawk as Weapon’ and ‘Battle in the Swamp’ this release is well worth grabbing and a good incentive to see them live too.
