…And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead

Before the live recording at the Castelbuono Ypsigrock Festival on December 8, 2018, ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead had just released their album "X: The Godless Void and Other Stories" in January 2020. However, by the time of this performance, they were likely riding the momentum from their prior album, "Lost Songs," which was released in 2012. An interesting tidbit about this period in their career is how the band consistently redefined their sound, blending post-hardcore with art rock influences. Known for their dynamic live shows, this performance showcases the band's intensity and layering, particularly with the opening track, "Heart in the Hand of the Matter." It’s a testament to their evolution, where they continue to engage audiences with raw energy and a poignant narrative, reminding fans why they’ve remained significant in the indie rock scene for over two decades.
