Lesbian - Power Hor

YEP, THE BAND’S NAME IS LESBIAN. WHY? WELL, EQUALLY COOL NAMES LIKE BLACK SABBATH, VENOM AND PENTAGRAM WERE ALREADY TAKEN. IT’S HEAVY, MELODIC, DRAMATIC AND DYNAMIC. THE SEATTLE-BASED QUARTET’S MULTIFACETED DEBUT ALBUM POWER HOR ON HOLY MOUNTAIN (OM, SIX ORGANS OF ADMITTANCE) HERALDS THE BIRTH OF THE NEW WAVE OF AMERICAN PSYCHEDELIC METAL. EACH OF THE ALBUM’S FOUR TRACKS SHIFTS MOODS, DYNAMICS AND STYLES. IN ANY GIVEN SONG, LESBIAN DEFTLY LUNGES FROM BLACK METAL-STYLE BLAST-BEAT-AND-16TH-NOTE-GUITAR-LINES INTO ‘70S STYLED STONER ROCK RIFFING AND THEN LEAPS INTO LUSH MELODIC PASSAGES REMINISCENT OF GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR!. THE BAND BLENDS THE BEST ELEMENTS OF MANY STYLES OF METAL: DOOM, THRASH, BLACK, PROGRESSIVE AND, YES, EVEN GOOD OLD ‘HEAVY’ METAL. FOR FANS OF: ISIS, PELICAN, BORIS, SKULLFLOWER, EMPEROR, SLEEP. ARTWORK BY: STEPHEN O’MALLEY (SUNN O)))) AND JOHN SANTOS (HIGH ON FIRE)
