Hanoi’s death/doom force Putrid Vomit Christ has unveiled a new live release titled LIVE #2 (Saigon, 08.08.25), issued through underground label House of Ygra. The album documents the band in their most natural habitat, on stage, unfiltered and volatile, during a performance recorded in Ho Chi Minh City on August 8, 2025.
Captured at the height of an intense touring period, “LIVE #2″ preserves the raw energy of the band’s live ritual without studio polish or post-production tricks. According to the label, the recording remains untouched by overdubs, presenting the performance exactly as it unfolded in the room. The result is a harsh but immersive document of Putrid Vomit Christ’s chaotic brand of death metal, balancing suffocating atmosphere with violent bursts of sound.
For those familiar with the Hanoi outfit, the release continues their reputation for pushing the uglier and more extreme edges of the Vietnamese underground metal scene. Their music thrives on abrasive textures, warped riffs, and guttural vocals that evoke a grim aesthetic closer to the depths of death metal’s most depraved corners than its modern polished variants.
“LIVE #2” captures that ethos in full force. The recording channels what House of Ygra describes as “ritualistic death,” driven by a cynical intensity that feeds off the immediacy of the live setting. Rather than smoothing out imperfections, the album leans into them, letting the chaos and atmosphere of the moment coexist. The release is available now on YouTube and Bandcamp, while for collectors and devotees of physical media, House of Ygra has also announced a cassette edition, currently available to order through the label’s Bandcamp page or via direct contact.
