Eagles of Death Metal

In August 2016, during the performance captured at Øyafestivalen in Oslo, Norway, Eagles of Death Metal were in a significant period of their career following the release of their album "Zipper Down" in October 2015. This album marked their first release in over a decade, showcasing a return to form with their signature blend of rock and humor. The band had gained considerable attention and support after the tragic events in Paris in 2015, where they were performing when terrorist attacks occurred. This led to a surge in public sympathy and a renewed interest in their music. By the time of the Øyafestivalen performance, the band was touring actively, celebrating resilience in the face of adversity, and reaffirming their commitment to live music and to their fans. Their set at the festival showcased both their energetic riffs and their evolution as artists during a pivotal moment in their history.
