Leather Nun America Release New Album Buddha Knievel on March 9

While I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to see an owl on the cover of a heavy album and not think of Rush‘s Fly by Night immediately, I’m also not sure that’s not the intent of San Diego three-piece Leather Nun America, whose new full-length, Buddha Knievel, is due out March 9 on Nine Records. Take that owl from the Adam Burke cover art, add in the Viking ship and the doomly-looking hilltop castle and you’ve got a decent sense of where the trio are coming from musically. It would hardly fit the aesthetic, but somehow if a bottle of wine could’ve been incorporated or maybe a Maryland flag from one of the castle ramparts, it might go even further toward conveying Leather Nun America‘s particular affinity for Maryland doom and the work of The Obsessed, which continues to be a pervasive influence on their sound, as the new song “Into Abyss,” audible below, demonstrates.

I’m only kidding about changing the art, just in case there’s any lingering doubt. One look at it and it’s pretty easy to tell there isn’t a damn thing missing. Also, kudos to Leather Nun America on the title Buddha Knievel. Not that I’m keeping a list of the year’s best album names or anything, but if I was, that would definitely make the cut.

To the PR wire:

Leather Nun Buddha Knievel

LEATHER NUN america – Buddha Knievel

NINE004, CD, Release Date: March 9th, 2015

LEATHER NUN america releases new album called “Buddha Knievel” on cd and digital download through Nine Records. This record is packed full with eleven magic, but old heavy tracks! Taking a doom fueled journey through sounds rich with MD/DC standards, then branching into cold harder Northern sound. 45 minutes of traditional doom metal in the vein of Wino’s bands like The Obsessed, The Hidden Hand and Spirit Caravan. Fans of Maryland doom metal sound and style will be satisfied!

Leather Nun america from San Diego/California is active since 2003. They released three albums before for PsycheDOOMelic Records (“All Your Kin” 2006, “Absence of Light” 2008, “Kult Occult” 2011), all of which at high levels. Listen to the “Buddha Knievel”, and you will see that they have reached a higher level.
