Aswad Return With New Live Album

Listening to "Live In London" by Aswad is like plunging into a brilliant time capsule filled to the brim with the vivacity of reggae's golden era; it's an awe-inspiring adventure through the throbbing rhythms and heart-stirring songs. This album, recorded live in the midst of the electrifying frenzy of a sold-out London gig is a kaleidoscope of ear-bliss.

As the Intro Medley's first electric chord pierces through the air, Aswad deftly weaves together their fan-favorite songs like "Kush," "Ease Up," "Your Love," and "Old Fire Stick" to create a lush tapestry of music bliss. In addition to setting the scene, this virtuoso display of musical skill ignites a fire within listeners' hearts and minds in preparation for the adventure that awaits.

Root Rocking" begs listeners to give in to its entrancing beat, while "Babylon" throbs with justifiable wrath. With its haunting chorus that echoes long after the last chords have subtly faded into the night, the timeless song "Don't Turn Around" stands tall as a moving monument to Aswad's lasting legacy.

The album's stellar production team, headed by Christian Cowlin and Mark Gittins, deserves praise as well. Their attention to detail makes sure that every beat and note sounds crystal clear, enveloping listeners in a sea of flawless sound. As a visual tribute to the band's lasting impact on the music industry, the bright cover art by Thomas Hughes conveys the spirit and energy of Aswad's dynamic live performance.
