Queens Of The Stone Age: Alive In The Catacombs (Vinyl LP)

Following a deluxe vinyl edition that sold out in less than 24 hours, Queens Of The Stone Age now announce a limited standard vinyl version of Alive In The Catacombs, made specially for retailers worldwide. The album, which will be available September 26, is housed in a single pocket jacket with a printed inner sleeve featuring behind-the-scenes photos taken by long-time collaborator Andreas Neumann.

The AITC film and subsequent audio release is QOTSA distilled down to their most elemental form — Joshua Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita and Jon Theodore augmented by a three-piece string section, employing chains and chopsticks as makeshift percussion instruments.

Entirely unfiltered, as every song was recorded live in a complete take with no overdubs or edits. The audio was recorded by Mark Rankin, François-Xavier Delaby, Henri d’Armancourt and Alban Lejeune, and was produced by Mark Rankin. Final mixes by Mark Rankin, Joshua Homme and Michael Shuman.
