Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine

"Rampton"
(Southern Lord Recordings) 

Despite the sludgy, long, 3-mile name; TOLRTD is one of the most distorted, mind-blowing and unethical musical acts I've heard since Khanate and Sunn right off this very same label. An all-star cast is present for these 3 songs of manic distortion with Justin Greaves of Iron Monkey and Hard To Swallow), Greg Anderson of Sunn 0))), Goatsnake and Thorr's Hammer, the infamous Lee Dorrian of Cathedral,Napalm Death tenures and Stephen O'Malley of Khanate, Sunn 0))) and Burning Witch. There are vocals on here despite they are very disturbing toi go along with their 'on purpose" style of droning trance put to music. These guys make Winter and Sleep seem like Speed Metal their so damn slow and "creepy-crawly"; immensely disturbing but truly unique. www.southernlord.com southernlord@yahoo.com
