To mark the occasion, the band has shared a live rendition of ‚On The Run‘ alongside an energetic live video, offering fans a first taste of what promises to be an essential document of the group in their natural element.
Originally founded in 1989, NESTOR made a triumphant return to the scene in 2021 with their debut album ‚Kids in a Ghost Town‘, a record that earned them a nomination at the prestigious Swedish Grammis Awards and opened doors to a string of high-profile live opportunities. Since then, the quintet has shared stages with rock royalty including Kiss and Europe, and has taken their nostalgic yet fresh brand of AOR-infused hard rock to audiences across Europe and Japan.
‚On The Run‘, one of NESTOR’s biggest hits to date with millions of streams to its name, receives a powerful live treatment on the new release, with the band’s hallmark AOR keyboards and twin guitars locking into an irresistible sing-along chorus that loses none of its studio magic in a live context.
The 16-track album, which will also be available on DVD, draws from across NESTOR’s catalogue, featuring live interpretations of fan favourites such as ‚Firesign‘, ‚Teenage Rebel‘, and ‚Caroline‘. Physical formats include a strictly limited double LP in marbled translucent reptile vinyl exclusive to the Napalm Records mailorder, a solid red double LP, and a CD/DVD digisleeve edition. With ‚Live at Gothenburg Film Studios‘, NESTOR continue their mission to restore rock music to its former glory.
