BIOGRAPHY

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.

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.

Lesbian formed in April 2004 on a whim for members of Pacific Northwest thunder-sludge bands Golgothan Sunrise, Asva and The Abodox who planned to play a one-off set at Seattle's Funhouse. The response was so overwhelming that guitarists Arran McInnis and Daniel La Rochelle (both of whom were then involved in Golgothan Sunrise) and bassist/vocalist Dorando Hodous and drummer Benjamin Thomas-Kennedy (who both also pull double duty as the rhythm section in The Abodox) decided to continue on with Lesbian as their primary focus. The band's riffs are dissected and cut into vivid and imaginative parts that splinter and shift in shades of light and dark without coming across overly-technical and soulless. There is a cinematic quality to Power Hör that envelops a vast array of moods and ideas. It's entrancing and psychedelic while utterly pummeling at the same time.

In order to capture the dynamic force of its live sound, Lesbian enlisted the much-lauded ear of producer Randall Dunn, [Sunn0))), Boris, Earth], to help the band achieve its musical vision. Power Hör was recorded and mixed at both the legendary Avast! and Dunn's own Aleph studio. Stephen O'Malley [of doom duo Sunn0)))] designed the stunning cover art for the band's debut, befitting its sonic density and complexity. Incorporated into the layout is a striking logo design by John Santos (High on Fire, Kylesa, A Life Once Lost), whose artwork also graces the cover of Lesbian's split LP with Portland Maine's Ocean out on Roadburn Records.

The Lesbros are headed back to the studio in the summer of 2008 again with Randall Dunn to start work on Power Hor's follow up.
