Lightning Bolt

Lightning Bolt

A raw, live-recorded document of floor-show chaos. Distorted bass and hyper-active drums collide in a lo-fi whirlwind of pure noise rock energy.

It sounds like a power plant exploding in a very rhythmic, exciting way.

A relentless, confrontational energy with moments of chaotic playfulness.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The initial explosion of 'Into the Valley' where the bass tone sounds like a malfunctioning electrical transformer.
The frantic, polyrhythmic drum breakdown in 'Fleeing the Valley of Whirling Knives' that feels like it might collapse at any second.
The moment in 'Mistake' where the distorted vocals finally pierce through the thick layer of low-end fuzz.
