Dim Gray - 'Live In Europe 2023' : six song live EP by Norwegian rock quintet out 23.10.24

In August and September 2023, Norwegian rock quintet Dim Gray toured the UK and Europe for the first time, playing 15 dates across nine countries as special guests of Big Big Train. The band recorded each show and have issued four songs from these performances as singles in recent months. These have now been joined by two more to form the six track ‘Live In Europe 2023' EP that is released today.

The EP contains versions of songs from both Dim Gray albums to date, plus their ‘Murals’ single released in March 2024. Each performance was recorded by front of house engineer Rob Aubrey at shows in England, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Norway and have been mixed by him to create a document that captures the band’s live sound in authentic fashion.

“It has been a great experience revisiting the recordings from what has been the band’s biggest tour so far,” states guitarist/keyboard player Milad Amouzegar. "These tracks are filled with memories, and I’m excited to hit the road again with new material and reconnect with the friends we have made along the way."

Drummer Tom Ian Klungland adds: “We are excited to release our first collection of live recordings on streaming platforms. We believe this EP highlights the range of our music, showcasing the different elements that shape our live sound.”

'The Wave We Thought We’d Ride Forever’ VIDEO was released as the first single from the EP, followed by ‘Ashes’, ‘52’ and ‘Abalus In Time’ VIDEO.
