Lords of Beacon House Release New Album LOBH II: Recreational Sorcery

I’ll just assume that sooner or later I’m going to get a press release down the PR wire about Lords of Beacon House getting picked up by this or that label — Ripple, RidingEasy, someone else who doesn’t necessarily start with the letter ‘R’ — for a vinyl release of their second album, LOBH II: Recreational Sorcery. Has to happen, right? Their 2015 self-titled debut (discussed here) came out onĀ HomHomHom, and they had a split last year with Great Electric Quest on Midnite Collective, so yeah, if neither of them has already stepped in to handle the task — and I don’t know that they haven’t — it seems entirely likely that someone else would. Some things are too good to go un-pressed.

In the interim, however, Lords of Beacon House have made the album available digitally through their Bandcamp page, so if you want to be one of those people who are like, “Yeah, I was way into this record before it got put on LP, so, you know, special edition for me,” and all that, now’s your chance to be Johnny Groundfloor on it.

Recorded by Steve Kille from Dead Meadow, streaming in full, tour dates to follow sooner or later. Have at it:

LOBH II: Recreational Sorcery

Conjured and conceived over the span of two endless winters, guided and designed by forces unseen, and nearly claiming the lives of some of the band, this work has finally been approved by The Council to be unleashed upon mankind.

Behold, “Recreational Sorcery” the long-awaited sophomore release by the infamous Los Angeles heavy outfit Lords of Beacon House.

Something you might not know… “Tourniquet of Destiny”, a number depicting man accepting his fate and plunging further into darkness, features a cameo from underground brother and living legend Travis Baucum of Red Wizard fame on the blues harp. Stoked on this collaboration.
