(PR) Lesbian Comes Out This Spring... Er, That is, Lesbian the Band Releases Debut Album, Tours the U.S. Yep, the band's name is Lesbian. Why would an all-male heavy-rock quartet from Seattle call itself Lesbian? 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 leaden, melodic, dramatic and dynamic. The group'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 s*** over Power Hör. [The press release was so busy going on about the silly name that they forgot to give a release date or even tour dates or we could provide them.]
