Eagles of Death Metal

In October 2012, during the live performance at Terminal 5 in New York City, Eagles of Death Metal were promoting their album "Zipper Down," which was released later in 2015. At this time, the band’s discography included previous albums like "Heart On," released in 2008, marking a period where their sound was evolving and gaining greater recognition. The live recording at this venue showcases their energetic performance style, which blends desert rock with garage rock influences. An interesting fact surrounding this era is that the band achieved a measure of notoriety for their unique blend of humor and rock, often characterized by a light-hearted approach to serious topics within their lyrics. Their reputation for engaging live performances further enhanced their appeal, leading to a loyal fanbase that embraced their music long before and after the tragic events in Paris in November 2015, which would later impact their legacy significantly.
