LIGHTNING BOLT
earthly delights

Release Date: 19/10/2009

last we heard this amplified tribe of two was 2005's 'hypermagic mountain'. on that album, lightning bolt was tossing thousand of years worth of musical history into a wood chipper and coming up with chewy chainsaw taffy. the new album, 'earthly delights', comes after scrapping two entire full length recordings. taking lessons of extreme metal and marrying them to expansive and explosive song form - 'earthly delights' uses electric stimulus to shock smile technology to worldwide domes. this is what 2,000 year's of evolution and the invention of electric instrumentation have led to - the modern incarnation of lightning bolt. this record has the sound of a ten-piece band with a much tighter pay scale, matched with the sonics of military cartoons. this record is truly the sound of the band's live show, ablaze with the joy of a ground-bound studio mastery.
