Lair of The Minotaur - War Metal Battle Masters

Lair Of The Minotaur’s third full length on Southern Lord Records, War Metal Battle Master is a concept album about solving conflicts with a big fucking axe!
The songs are a mix of the thrashing aggression & mega-riffage of the previous album: The Ultimate Destroyer and the unrelenting beatings & Sabbath chugs of Carnage, mixed with a new emotionless ferocity reserved for an
executioner. Vocals are mercilessly hateful and compellingly ugly, bordering on the death roars of Obituary’s John Tardy and the gluttoral rolls of Abbatt of Immortal... this surely is the sound of a very savage war.
Recorded at Volume Studios in Chicago by Sanford Parker (Pelican, Unearthly Trance, Venomous Concept) and mastered by Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer member).
In standard Southern Lord fashion the packaging of this album is epic...featuring illustrations by Jeremy Mohlerand and layout by Seldon Hunt.
The CD contains a 20 page booklet with graphic illustrations for each song.
A video for the title track was filmed with director Gary Smithson (High on Fire, Goatwhore, Exodus), due to be released February 2008.
