Samsara Blues Experiment to Release Rock Hard in Concert Live Album in October
Recorded in 2018 at a gig put together by respected German print magazine Rock Hard — for whom I’d write in a second if they’d have me, and they likely wouldn’t — the forthcoming Rock Hard in Concert live album from Samsara Blues Experiment is set to release this Fall. No, the band aren’t back together, and if they ever do reunite, I think we’ve got years before we get there, but they do remain active. You might recall earlier this year they offered Demos & Rarities (review here) to sate fans and completists, and, well, it’s been a decade since they put out 2013’s Live at Rockpalast (review here), and that could hardly be said to be comprehensive since they put out one full-length concurrent to it and two after. So yeah, fair enough.
At the same time, guitarist/vocalist Chris Peters continues to explore new and familiar ground in Fuzz Sagrado, whose Luz e Sombra (review here), was released in May, also through World in Sound, and not to talk out of turn but I hear there’s more stuff from Peters in the works as we move toward Fall and the release of this live record.
Here’s the announcement, as posted on social media:
New live album coming: SBE “Rock Hard In Concert”
Finally, after the long sold out Rockpalast CD, we have a new live album coming out in OCTOBER 2023 via @world_in_sound with a full set of SBE classics and even a few songs from the final studio album, two years before they’ve been recorded.
This very special event took place in November 2018 in Dortmund after being invited by Germany’s leading Hard and Heavy @rockhardmagazin and it was also their boss Holger Stratmann who recorded and mixed our show. The mastering has been done by legendary Krautrocker @erke_eroc
So, this is probably the last ultimate offering from our collective, about 80 minutes of wicked heavy music on 2LP, CD and digital as usual. LP will also include the gig poster from this event. Fans of the band mark your calendars, more news soon …
