EARTHLY DELIGHTS

Lightning Bolt redefined what it means to be DIY. An utterly singular
band in every way, unbridled creativity and energy propel them well
past most categorical boundaries, the least of which is the boundary
between band and audience. Theirs is an immersive experience - a
sound so huge it can swallow us all. Earthly Delights is the metal
album to Lightning Bolt's genre-straddling discography, using the
signature speed and volume reminiscent of past releases while
centering around growling chords and monolithic rhythms commonly
found in the foundations of metal. Amorphous songs feature a sort
of gravitational pull, dragging listeners in and driving the pounding
rhythms of Brian Chippendale into the brain until they are stuck in.
Wielding the bass, Brian Gibson strays from his typical high-end
runs, cramming thick chords between frantic beats, creating a brutal
and grueling churn. Although this record is likely to wear you out
with unrelenting heaviness and elongated mega-jamming, we think
fans will find this reissue of Earthly Delights quite- delightful...
