    Manchester Orchestra have shared a live video of “Angel of Death.”

    Manchester Orchestra today shared an electric live performance of “Angel of Death,” which sees the band play to a sold out, devoted crowd at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre during their 11th annual hometown festival ‘The Stuffing’ in November 2021. “Angel of Death” is an exhilarating, standout track off Manchester Orchestra’s acclaimed album The Million Masks of God, released in April 2021 via Loma Vista Recordings to career-high praise (stream/purchase the album HERE). 
    
    Manchester Orchestra will resume their North American tour this month, including one of their biggest Los Angeles shows to date at the Hollywood Palladium on February 26th, as well as sold-out shows in Denver, Portland (OR), Seattle, San Diego, Phoenix, Austin and Minneapolis. They also today announced two UK headline shows in London and Manchester in September 2022. See below for a current itinerary of live dates; tickets are available HERE.
    
    The Million Masks of God was named one of 2021's Best Albums of the Year by Consequence, Brooklyn Vegan, and FLOOD Magazine, among others, and earned acclaim and features from Stereogum, NPR Music, Uproxx, SPIN, and more. The album's lead single "Bed Head" rose to chart as the band’s latest #2 AAA and Top 20 Alternative radio hit, ranking as one of “Public Radio's Most Popular Songs Of 2021” at NPR Music. Notable performances of “Bed Head” include for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s #PlayAtHome series, CBS This Morning: Saturday Sessions, WXPN World Cafe, WNYC New Sounds, and Comedy Bang Bang’s 12th anniversary special. In addition to the LP, the band also released the heavy, slow-burning “Never Ending” in 2021—their contribution to the Dark Nights: Death Metal Soundtrack, executive produced by Tyler Bates (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Watchmen,” “John Wick”)—and Christmas Songs Vol. 1, a holiday album featuring covers of six seasonal classics. On the morning of The Stuffing, the band also released The Million Masks of God: The Remixes, featuring inventive reimaginings of their songs by Local Natives, Dirty Projectors, Lucius, and more—listen HERE. 
     
    Produced by Manchester Orchestra’s lead songwriting duo of Andy Hull and Robert McDowell, Catherine Marks (PJ Harvey, The Killers) and Ethan Gruska (Phoebe Bridgers), The Million Masks Of God presents an even grander scale of the epic and re-focused approach to record-making that the band has forged in recent years. Their sixth album finds the band of Hull, McDowell, Tim Very, and Andy Prince relentlessly pushing themselves to create a work that breaks beyond the scope and limits of every previous release in an effort to create their most towering achievement to date, all while sorting through the aftermath of a devastating loss

    I can't wait to see these guys live; their March show was pushed back to July here, here's to hoping it'll still happen.

    On a related note: do they always sound so tight on stage? I know there's some production in there, but it reminds me of their live version of Top Notch, which is arguably better than the recorded version.

    I saw them in philly last fall supporting MMOG, and have seen them 5ish times before then. They always sound this tight. Always. The last time i saw them was a top 5 show all time for me. They were just flawless. Whatever your expectations are, raise them.
