Lord Announce May 26 Release for Blacklisted
You wanna know how unpredictable Lord are? They have a new record. Would you have called that? Hell no. Of course not. It’s only been about a year since their last outing, Awake (review here), which hit half a decade after their 2011 full-length, Chief (review here). I mean, they said they were working on one and everything, but well, they kind of said that for five years before Awake showed up too. Sorry, but if you’d asked me, I wouldn’t have guessed it would be ready so soon.
Not at all a complaint however, since if the turbulent times in which we live deserve any soundtrack at all, it’s the against-the-grain-of-existence Southern heavy thrash abrasion Lord tend to proffer. Blacklisted, the cover for which you can see below, is out May 26 via Heavy Hound Records, and as I remain a complete nerd for these guys, you can safely expect more to come before we get there.
For now, here’s info from the PR wire and the stream of the title-track from their Bandcamp, where they’re taking preorders for the CD:
Lord – Blacklisted
Virginia’s LORD are pleased to announce that they will release their new album Blacklisted on May 26 2017 via Heavy Hound Records. The band’s mix of sludge, metal and hardcore is highly recommended for fans of Eyehategod, Down, Neurosis and Today is the Day.
LORD is a band that isn’t afraid to explore the possibilities within heavy music. The band takes the heavy music of the last 50 years and combines it with melodic and progressive sensibilities in order to create something unique. By incorporating hints of genres such as thrash, hardcore punk, prog, death, and black metal, LORD have managed to establish a sound that is both aggressive and unique in a crowded heavy music scene.
Lyrically, Blacklisted focuses on the destruction of the Earth, those destroying it and what role each and every one of us plays in that picture. Blacklisted also highlights figures both historical and modern that have made a positive impact on humanity.
