Warning to Release Watching From a Distance – Live at Roadburn 2LP Sept. 24
This is its own excuse for being, as far as I’m concerned. I was fortunate enough to be in the room for day three of Roadburn Festival 2017 when long-gone UK doomers Warning made a return to perform their 2006 album, Watching From a Distance, in its entirety. It was heavy — even more so emotionally than tonally or in a sense of “doom” as a heavy genre. It was a heavy experience. Patrick Walker had a singularly depressive charisma from the stage, and I’m not sure I’ve seen someone before or since so willing to put himself completely into a performance. Or if he wasn’t, he’s easily the best at selling it that I’ve ever seen, and either way, it was a striking performance.
Cappio Records, run by Roadburn‘s own Becky Laverty, will oversee the release of Watching From a Distance – Live at Roadburn on Sept. 24 as a limited 2LP. Preorders start tomorrow and I’d be surprised if copies lasted much longer than that. If you’re on the fence, come on down.
