[Progressive / Psychedelic / Sludge] Lesbian

[MaXdi Vampire]

Lesbian, Progressive / Psychedelic / Sludge

Yep. The band's name is LESBIAN.

Why? Well, equally-cool names like Black Sabbath, Venom and Pentagram were already taken. But also, the name Lesbian evokes pure, sexually-charged freedom -- and, that's what rock music is all about. [more]

But, enough about the name, let's talk about the Lesbian sound...it's heavy, melodic, dramatic and dynamic. The Seattle based quartet's multifaceted debut album Power Hör on Holy Mountain (Om, Six Organs of Admittance) is considered the birth of the New Wave of American Psychedelic Metal. Each of the four-song, 61-minute album's tracks flowingly shifts moods, dynamics and styles. In any given song, Lesbian deftly lunges from a Black Metal style blast-beat-and-16th-note-guitar-line into 70's style Stoner Rock riffing and then equally effectively leaping into a lush melodic passage reminiscent of Godspeed! You Black Emperor. The band brilliantly blends the best elements of many styles of metal: Doom, Thrash, Black, Progressive and -- yes -- even good old "Heavy" Metal. Fans of bands like Neurosis, Emperor, Skullflower, Boris, Pelican, Sleep and Isis will -- as they say -- lose their shit over Power Hör.
