Desert Rock royalty Fu Manchu to release new live album, “The Return Of… Live,” on August 1, 2025.
In 2024, Fu Manchu released their 14th studio album, “The Return of Tomorrow,” and embarked on a world tour to bring the new music to the fans. The band felt that these shows and these songs would be special, so they recorded the performances. When they got home and listened, they were so inspired that they decided to release an album compiled from these shows. “The Return Of…Live” is their first official live album in 20 years and includes some fan favorites including “Eatin’ Dust” and “Hell On Wheels” along with “Loch Ness Wrecking Machine,” “Hands Of The Zodiac” and the title-track of “The Return Of Tomorrow.”
Scott Hill, lead vocals/guitarist comments: “These 9 songs were recorded during our 2024 The Return Of Tomorrow UK/European tour. We had a great time at all of the shows and the crowds were amazing. We have been lucky enough to tour for the past 35 years and the songs on this album are some of our favorite old ones and new ones.”
The album was mixed by longtime Fu Manchu producer/mixer, Jim Monroe (Adolescents, Ignite) and mastered by Carl Saff.
The vinyl pressing is a limited edition of 1,500 on white vinyl with blue, purple and orange splatter.
