Oscar and the Wolf unveils limited edition vinyl & photobook for 'TASTE (LIVE)'
Celebrating the live energy and emotional depth of his most personal era to date
Tuesday, May 20, 2025 – Some chapters don’t end when the music stops. Oscar and the Wolf announces the release of an exclusive collector’s edition celebrating the live energy and emotional depth of his most personal era to date:TASTE.
This collector’s set includes:
- TASTE LIVE – THE ALBUM (VINYL)
A full-length live double-vinyl, pressed on heavyweight wax, capturing the breathless tension of Max’s iconic nights at Sportpaleis and Ziggo Dome who've ended his European tour across ten cities earlier this year. Every breath, every scream, every silence preserved in sound. - TASTE LIVE - THE PHOTOBOOK
A premium hardcover photo journal, featuring over 400 pages of rare backstage shots, live moments, handwritten lyrics and personal notes from Max. A curated archive of the emotions behind the performance.
Available for pre-order on May 20 at 10:00 CET, this strictly limited, physical-only edition of the TASTE Vinyl and Photobook will not be restocked. Available exclusively on oscarandthewolf.com, with shipping starting in December 2025.
“I didn’t want to make new merch,” says Max. “I wanted to make something real. Something that feels like us, a moment you can hold, a sound you can see. It’s my way of saying thank you, in the only way I know: through something you can feel.”
A decade in the waiting, this live release delivers the immersive experience fans have longed for. First premiered on Proximus Pickx+, the TASTE Tour concert at Sportpaleis offers a glimpse into a pivotal stage of Max’s artistic evolution.
TASTE marked a shift in Oscar and the Wolf’s journey, letting go of artifice to make space for emotional clarity. Described by Wonderland Magazine as “a raw and authentic exploration” of his craft, the album blends “euphoric club rhythms and exposed personal confessions” (Notion) and delivers what StuBru called “one of the best shows ever in Sportpaleis.” As De Morgen put it, “Oscar and the Wolf is ready for his own Super Bowl.”
This collector’s release is not just a souvenir, it’s a concluding chapter. A way for fans to hold onto the most visceral moments of the TASTE era as the next act is already stirring.
