If you crave the raw, unfiltered energy of live metal and hard rock, then MetalMania Live has your next obsession. Remember, our station only plays live music — every track is a live version, capturing the intensity, sweat, and unrepeatable magic of artists on stage. This November, Slash fans are in for a treat with the release of Live at the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival, a live album and concert film that showcases one of rock’s most legendary guitarists in peak form.
Recorded on July 17, 2024, in Denver, Colorado, as part of his blues-driven S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival tour, this live project brings together Slash and his “Blues Ball” band for a performance that celebrates the roots of rock and blues while delivering that unmistakable hard rock edge. Every riff, every drum hit, and every growl of the guitar solo is captured in its live glory — exactly the kind of unadulterated experience that MetalMania Live listeners crave.
The live album, released on November 7, 2025, includes 15 tracks that traverse Slash’s storied career and blues influences. From scorching solos to gritty, heartfelt performances, each song demonstrates the power of live music to elevate rock to another level. The accompanying concert film allows fans to see the performance in full, capturing Slash’s stage presence, the band’s chemistry, and the audience’s electric response — a perfect companion for any metal or hard rock enthusiast who lives for the concert experience.
You can stream the full album now on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, or watch the concert film on Prime Video and Apple TV using streaming devices such as Roku. For collectors and die-hard fans, the live experience has been preserved in physical formats: a 2CD+DVD digipak, a 2CD+Blu-ray digipak, and a heavyweight 3LP vinyl set, ensuring that the thunder of Slash’s guitar resonates long after the last note fades.
Beyond the music, Live at the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival also made an impact offstage, raising over $125,000 for mental health and social justice nonprofits. This adds an extra layer of significance to the project — showing that even in the electrifying chaos of a live show, music can be a force for good.
For MetalMania Live listeners, this album is a must-hear. It’s the kind of live performance where you can feel the sweat on the fretboard, hear the crowd’s roar, and experience every blistering solo and groove in real time. In a world where studio tracks are polished and predictable, Live at the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival reminds us why live metal and hard rock will always be more powerful.
