Slaughter On First Avenue 2LP black

Das erste Live-Album der englischen Psychedelic-Doom-Band! 14 fesselnde Songs und frei von Gimmicks oder Ablenkungen. Von frühen Klassikern wie ‘I‘ll Cut You Down‘ und ‘Death‘s Door‘ (beide aus ‘Blood Lust‘) bis hin zu neueren Werken wie ‘Shockwave City‘ (vom 2018er Klassiker ‘Wasteland‘) und dem finsteren ‘Epos Slow Death‘ (aus ‘The Night Creeper‘). Der Mix aus zwei feurigen und unvergesslichen Live-Shows entwickelt eine ganz eigene, für Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats typische, faszinierende Dynamik. Eine Rückbesinnung auf die Tage, als Live-Alben magische Dinge und keine Lückenbüßer waren, und eine gute Dosis düsterer Elektrizität und psychedelischem Schwermuts. Schwere Riffs dominieren die Auswahl an Songs, die den Hörer in ihren verwirrenden, verzauberten Strudel des Untergangs ziehen. Doppel-CD als auch Doppel-LP mit Standard-Farbe Schwarz. Weitere Farben folgen. Auf Lee Dorrians (Cathedral) Kult-Label Rise Above!

14 songs deep and proudly devoid of gimmicks or distractions, Slaughter On First Avenue is a riveting and raw account of Uncle Acid in full flight. From early classics like I’ll Cut You Down and Death’s Door (both from Blood Lust), to more recent works of lysergic aggro like Shockwave City (from Wasteland) and sinister epic Slow Death (from The Night Creeper), this amalgamation of two fiery and unforgettable live shows has a mesmerising momentum all of its own.


A throwback to the days when live albums were magical things, rather than cynical stopgaps, Slaughter On First Avenue is a jolting dose of dark electricity and psychedelic terror. Swollen with the greatest of riffs and performed with grit, power and haughty disdain, it loudly confirms that Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats have the raw, fuzzed-out power to drag everybody into their bewildering, bewitched vortex of doom. A dazzling, devilish squall to mark the beginning of a new chapter, Slaughter On First Avenue also clears the decks for this band’s next malevolent move. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.


“Yes, There will be another record which will hopefully appear at some point without warning or explanation,” Kevin Starrs avows. “It will be completely different to anything else we‘ve done. You can think of it as a late-night detour. Its appeal will be extremely limited but that‘s OK... ‘When you‘re slapped, you‘ll take it and like it!‘”.
