Following a deluxe vinyl edition that sold out in less than 24 hours, followed by an indie exclusive version Queens of the Stone Age now announce a standard vinyl version of Alive in the Catacombs. The album, which will be available on December 4th, is housed in a single pocket jacket with a printed inner sleeve featuring behind-the-scenes photos taken by long-time collaborator Andreas Neumann.
The AITC film and subsequent audio release is QOTSA distilled down to their most elemental form—Joshua Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita and Jon Theodore augmented by a three-piece string section, employing chains and chopsticks as makeshift percussion instruments. Entirely unfiltered, as every song was recorded live in a complete take with no overdubs or edits. The audio was recorded by Mark Rankin, François-Xavier Delaby, Henri d’Armancourt and Alban Lejeune, and was produced by Mark Rankin. Final mixes by Mark Rankin, Joshua Homme and Michael Shuman.
Queens of the Stone Age: Alive in the Catacombs was produced by La Blogothèque and directed by Thomas Rames, and was filmed and recorded in July 2024 in Paris, France.
