‘Live at Avantgarden’ is the 7th release from Norwegian progressive rock band Arabs in Aspic. It’s their very first live album and it was recorded in their hometown of Trondheim the 13th of January this year celebrating the success of their last album ‘Syndenes Magi’. Focusing on an old-school sound, the use of Hammond organs, Mellotron, Rhodes, Space Echo, vintage guitars and a mix of different musical backgrounds, a special symbiosis is created, which makes Arabs in Aspic stand out from many other, more classic bands.
