"This is Church of Misery’s first live record, and it’s fitting that it would be from Roadburn, an environment in which the band is as appreciated as they’ll ever be, preaching not only to the converted, or to the choir, but to an entire order of boozed-up cult followers, gone mad on European weed and stoner riffs. For an unhinged act like Church of Misery -- who take the riff-riff-riff formula and actually make it sound dangerous -- it was the perfect setting. Through it all, Church of Misery do what they do best: lethal groove. I don’t know whether it’s their ongoing fascination with serial killers or just the brutality in how hard they hit their instruments, but there’s a heaviness underscoring Church of Misery. It’s almost sludge, but the stoner side of the guitar work, played here by Tom Sutton, who joined the band in the later half of the last decade, puts them in a category almost entirely their own. Well, theirs and Sabbath’s, anyway."
