Live At Roadburn 2007 is finally being released. Out of all of your shows and festival appearances, why was this specific performance chosen for a live recording?
We listened to everything—we just kind of went through everything we had, and this just seemed like the best one, the best overall. You just have to take into account the performance, the recording itself, and then the content, and just make a decision.And the fact that it was at Roadburn probably played into our decision at some point too, just because we have some loyalty to those guys; they’re good people that run that festival. It’s a really great event, and doing something to kind of honor them and their work, it kind of came into play as well. Had it been a crappy performance with a bad recording, we probably wouldn’t have put it out, but we just felt like it was a good representation of a live show. Oftentimes, we’re pretty sloppy, but that was a pretty good performance.
Considering the show was recorded 3 years ago, were there any hold backs with releasing it, or was it just a matter of fitting it into your schedule?
It really had to do with getting it done. Just getting it mixed, just going through everything, making sure that we had what we wanted. We don’t tend to move especially fast with stuff, you know? We kind of just let things marinate a little bit, or fester, however you want to say it.
And will it strictly be available in CD format, or will there be a vinyl edition of the album?
An LP is coming out through Roadburn Records.
