Southern California progressive thrashers MADROST are set to release the first in a planned series of live recordings this fall on Lost Wisdom Records. Lost Lives Volume 1 is a throwback to the band’s early days, featuring songs found on the band’s recently reissued full-length debut, Maleficent. The songs selected for this release were recorded during an October 2009 performance at Hogue Barmichael’s in Newport Beach, CA.
MADROST guitarist/vocalist Tanner Poppit comments on the release, “The Lost Lives Series is a retrospective of the band's early career. Starting this series off, this long-forgotten era has officially been restored and is now ready to be shown to the public. This particular release showcases the band in October of 2009, just two years after they originally formed. Warts and all, the band was firing on all cylinders and were well on their way to becoming a much tighter machine. What you are hearing is just that and more. A band with nothing to lose and everything to gain in the years to follow. Stay tuned for more to come in this series as we document the energy of the very foundation that this band maintains even still to this day.”
Stream album track "Good Ol' Fashioned Violence" at this location.
Lost Lives Volume 1 will be out on CD and digital formats on October 11. Pre-order at madrost.bandcamp.com
