In 2009, just a few months after the live recording of "...Trail Of Dead - It Was There That I Saw You" at The Forum in Sydney on February 17, the band was riding the wave of their album "The Century of Self," released in late 2008. This album marked a significant moment in their career, showcasing a maturation in their sound while maintaining their signature intensity. The performance captured in the live recording likely reflected the energy and artistic exploration of the band during this period. Notably, the group's dynamic stage presence and commitment to live performance have earned them a dedicated following, and they were known for their willingness to push boundaries both in the studio and on stage. Such passionate live shows are a testament to their reputation as a powerful and engaging live act, affirming their status within the post-rock and alternative music scenes.
