…And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead

...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead was at an important juncture in their career when they performed live on Soundcheck. This recording coincided with the anticipation surrounding their seventh studio album, "Tao of the Dead," which was released shortly thereafter. Just before this live performance, the band had put out "Source Tags & Codes" in 2002, a critically acclaimed album that solidified their place in the post-hardcore and art-rock scenes. The live performance showcased their evolving sound, incorporating artistic concepts that were further emphasized in "Tao of the Dead," which featured illustrations by frontman Conrad Keely. The band's ability to blend engaging music with visual art has been a hallmark of their work, and this recording marks a significant moment in promoting their continuing evolution as artists, bridging their earlier rawness with more ambitious and conceptual project elements.
