Saint Karloff Release Interstellar Voodoo, Live in Oslo; Playing MMR Fest
Posted in Whathaveyou on March 14th, 2022 by JJ Koczan
Last week, Majestic Mountain Records sent word of a tribute in the works to Saint Karloff bassist Ole Sletner — aka Ole Karloff — who passed away in 2021. In a similar spirit, the band themselves have now released the live album, Interstellar Voodoo, Live in Oslo, playing their 2019 sophomore full-length, Interstellar Voodoo (review here), in its entirety. In addition, Saint Karloff have been added to the Majestic Mountain Records Fest Oslo (MMR Fest), which is set for this June, and the band will once again render the album in full.
Hard to argue with either the intent or the realization. Interstellar Voodoo, Live in Oslo presents the studio record across two side-long parts that, sure enough, originally came out as a second LP with the deluxe edition of the album-proper. Making the tracks available digitally, with art of their own, seems like a fair enough move. The show was Feb. 29, 2020, at Blitz, and it sounds pretty right on. You were looking for something to spend seven Euro on today? Alright then.
News of the release came from social media:
