Hamilton heavy outfit Vile Creature performed a collaborative set with UK-based two-piece Bismuth at the 2022 edition of Tilburg, Netherlands-based festival Roadburn earlier this month, and courtesy of The Flenser, the set has now been suprise released as a full-length live album.
The 40-minute, one-track A Hymn of Loss and Hope is available to stream in full now, while vinyl editions — shipping in June — are up from pre-order through Flenser and on Vile Creature's Bandcamp.
Said Vile Creature's KW of the recording:
After three years of waiting it is enthralling to be able to finally not only play this piece of music at the Roadburn Festival for the first and only time, but to be able to put it out into the world. In July of 2021, across two continents we recorded a different take on this song from what we are doing with it live while still doing our best to capture the themes and sonic resonance as best as we could. With this type of weird, secret, surprise project it only seemed fitting to work with a weird label and both Bismuth and ourselves jumped at the chance to work on this with The Flenser.
Listen to the album in full below.
