A rainy Saturday afternoon in 2004: a wild bunch of teenagers meet in their rehearsal room, a small chamber in a barn in the tranquil Sauerland region. Wearing Kreator, Judas Priest and Metallica shirts, the newly formed band covers the classics of their heroes – the foundation for ERADICATOR is laid!
Twenty years later, the thrashers celebrate their anniversary with a special home game. Together with “Vortex Club” in Siegen, they launched the ‘Evil Twisted Metal Feast’ in October 2024. Six bands, 250 fans, an unforgettable evening and the decision to capture this moment.
With ‘Alive In The Dead Eye Of The Vortex’, ERADICATOR is now releasing an 11-song live album that thrashes through the band’s entire history. Four tracks from the current LP ‘The Paradox’ are also included. With ‘Evil Twisted Mind’, the song that gave the concert its name, one of their oldest songs returns, which was already featured on their first release, the demo ‘Back To The Roots’ (2007). History also repeats itself behind the controls: producer Jörn Michutta, who was already responsible for the demo, has shaped the live tracks into a dynamically thunderous mix that perfectly captures the energy and atmosphere of the evening.
Sebastian Jerke is responsible for the cover design, which ensures a galactic reunion with the plaque bringer.
Anyone familiar with ERADICATOR knows that they make no compromises when it comes to live performances. And now everyone else can experience this first-hand on record!
The CD and Vinyl versions will be available exclusively from the band’s shop and digitally worldwide via Metalville.
