LO: LOOK AND BEHOLD auf LP

Product Information

Lo!'s unpolished, abrasive sound calls up the image of a derailed freight-train, crushing everything in its path, ripping up the soil before coming to a flaming halt in the middle of the lifeless Moroccan hammada... Lo! follow bands like Old Man Gloom on their path down the dirt-trail of sludgy, noisy hardcore - but the band finds their own distinct sideways soon. That's why ,Look and Behold" sounds surprisingly fresh, from the first feedback of opener ,Hath" to the last waning cymbals of closing track ,,Fire at the Child Actor's Guild". Atmospheric electronic interludes such as the elegiac ,Seraphim" or ,Doth" give the listener some space to take a breath in between the assault of mighty groove-riffs and berserk drum attacks and further add to the diversity of the whole damn thing. Lo!, hailing from Sydney, Australia, burst onto the scene some time around mid 2010. The bands' members have a long history of playing in various punk, hardcore and metal bands and played a whole bunch of shows with well established Australian acts. The band released a selfproduced 6 track EP, which caught the attention of Pelagic Records. And here it is! Their first full-length album, now also available on beautiful ivory-colored vinyl with red splatter. And be sure that we here at Pelagic will be pushing hard to bring this fine outfit to Europe very soon...
