Before Chat Pile took on sold-out tours and widespread critical acclaim, they played Roadburn 2023—their biggest show to date, in front of a packed room of 3,000 on the festival’s main stage. Fresh off the release of God’s Country, the Oklahoma quartet brought their suffocating, sludgy noise rock to Tilburg for their first-ever European performance, delivering a set that felt like a milestone. The bleakness, the anguish, the raw absurdity—it all scaled up effortlessly, proving that Chat Pile’s chaos could consume any audience, no matter the size.
The set was recorded by the Roadburn staff and later remixed by the band’s longtime engineer, Jared Stimpfl, capturing the full weight of the performance.The result is something both massive and unrelenting—a document of Chat Pile at a pivotal moment, pushing their sound to its heaviest and most visceral extremes.
Bassist Stin explains: “While our Roadburn performance wasn’t the most polished, we hope fans will get a kick out of experiencing the nerves and excitement we felt on stage playing in front of the radically largest audience we’d ever played to at that point in the band’s history. It’s a raw chronicling of a very important moment in our lives and we’re very excited to share it with you.”
Live at Roadburn is streaming on digital platforms now and is available from the band directly at Roadburn ahead of their Saturday, April 19 main stage performance. Additionally, vinyl will be available for Flenser Subscription Series 7and will be available worldwide on vinyl at a later date in 2025.
