OBLIVION HUNTER

Lightning Bolt redefines what it means to be DIY. An utterly singular band
in every way, unbridled creativity and energy propel them well past most
categorical boundaries, least of which is the boundary between band and
audience. Theirs is an immersive experience - a sound so huge it can
swallow us all.
Oblivion Hunter is a monster. Not a compilation, not concept album and
more than the sum of its parts, the record is a peek into the band's inner
world on their home turf (the Hilarious Attic in Providence), collecting
deep explorations into distortion, bass manipulation and its intersection
with rhythm. A Limited release in 2012 sold out almost immediately. This
first re-issue is a deluxe one coming with 4 different covers each matched
with it's own color vinyl. Re mastered by Josh Bonati, you can now
immerse yourself in this pivotal Lightning Bolt album's sonic oblivion and
YOU are now the Oblivion Hunter.
A cathartic listening experience, Oblivon Hunter finds blast-beats
colliding with distorted vocals and all shapes and sizes of guitar noises,
even some metallic riffage on the album closer and aptly named "World
Wobbly Wide." Throughout, the sound is amped-up and free with an
ear on the railroad tracks to the big sounds of industry and clamor. Bass
sounds jump out of the speaker cones that conjure up ears in alien
propulsion systems, nights in faraway wind tunnels. Experience this pivotal
album in Lightning Bolt's catalog like never before.
