Eleven tracks, Thirty Minutes. This is the fourth album from Chicago's Lair Of The Minotaur and the first to be released on their own label, Grind House. Recorded at Volume Studios by Sanford Parker (Russian Circles, Buried At Sea). Featuring new bassist Nate Olp (ex-Demiricous), guest backing vocals from General Diabolical Slaughter (Usurper) and Mastered by Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer).
Emerging from the caustic burrows of Chicago comes the monolith of metal known as LAIR OF THE MINOTAUR: a sonic fuck you to the current trends and sub-genres of metal. Carrying the torch for metal's roots (Celtic Frost, Slayer, Motorhead) with a death breath of fresh air - spitting gas on the flames.
The Greek mythology inspired carnage continues on their fourth full length album Evil Power - the first release on Grind-House Records, a new label started by Steve Rathbone & Chris Wozniak of LOTM, and Josh Diebel (formerly of Alleysweeper Records) and distributed worldwide by Southern Lord.
The album is a metal powerhouse, laying waste to all in its path: heavy as the Kraken and proudly displaying the band's heavy rock, metal and punk influences.
Recorded in the dead of winter at Volume Studios by Sanford Parker (Russian Circles, Buried At Sea), Rathbone says: "If War Metal Battle Master was the war, Evil Power is the party after the bloody victory!". Featuring new bassist Nate Olp (ex Demiricous), guest backing vocals by General Diabolical Slaughter (Usurper) and full metal mastering by Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer) all bringing mucho mayhem to the fold.
A new video for the title track will be released with the album. Rathbone warns: "There will be blood! The video is unrelentingly brutal."
