Last week, Queens of the Stone Age shared the special concert recording ‘Alive in the Catacombs’. Today, they announce the arrival of a limited vinyl edition and the digital release. The digital release of ‘Alive in the Catacombs’ is this Friday the 13th on all digital platforms via Matador Records/Beggars.
The AITC film and subsequent audio release are QOTSA stripped down to their most basic form — Joshua Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita, and Jon Theodore, plus a string trio using chains and chopsticks as improvised percussion instruments. Completely unedited, each song was recorded live in a single take with no overdubs or edits. Audio was recorded by Mark Rankin, François-Xavier Delaby, Henri d’Armancourt, and Alban Lejeune, and produced by Mark Rankin. Final mixes were done by Mark Rankin, Joshua Homme, and Michael Shuman.
“If you’re ever going to be haunted, surrounded by several million dead people is the place. I’ve never felt so welcome in my life.” Joshua Homme
Queens of the Stone Age: Alive in the Catacombs, the film, was released on June 5. The film and accompanying behind-the-scenes documentary, “Alive in Paris and Before,” are available for purchase at qotsa.com.
