Hello, You Bastards: Live In Reno COOKING VINYL

CAPTURING THE SURGING energy of a live show has always been a dicey proposition for metal bands; variables like venue acoustics, crowd temperament and conjuring the right mix all come to the fore. Add to these the heroic speed and precision that metal requires of its musicians and nailing a live album becomes a herculean feat. With six full-length albums under their belt, Stone Sour now enter the fray with Hello, You Bastards: Live In Reno – a slamming 15-track set from the band’s October 2018 performance at the Grand Sierra Theatre in Reno, Nevada.

It’s actually a great time for the band to do this. 2017’s cemented their stature as a heatseeking mainstream metal band.
