Frontman Wayne Rudell shares the excitement behind the release:
I have always wanted to capture the live version of ‘The Black Dread.’ It has such a different energy live as a four-piece. Preston adds so much with his effects. You can really hear all the layers he adds. I used to love listening to old live bootlegs of Jimi Hendrix concerts. You got to hear different interpretations of timeless songs you thought you knew. I wanted to capture something similar here with the Black Dread.
Originally released on their self-titled debut, “The Black Dread” has become a cornerstone of Fuzz Evil’s live shows, known for its Heavy riffs, Psychedelic undertones, and thunderous grooves. This new live recording offers fans a visceral and immersive experience of the band’s expanded live lineup, showcasing the synergy that makes them a standout in the modern Stoner and Doom scene.
Fuzz Evil has steadily built a reputation for their gritty Desert Rock sound and raw, powerful live performances, and this release is a bold reminder of the bands relentless pursuit to be undeniable.
