Album Description
The Seattle-based quartet's multifaceted debut album Power Hor on Holy Mountain (Om, Six Organs of Admittance) heralds the birth of The New Wave of American Psychedelic Metal. Each of the album's four tracks shifts moods, dynamics and styles. In any given song, Lesbian deftly lunges from black metal-style blast-beat-and-16th-note-guitar-lines into '70s styled stoner rock riffing and then leaps into lush melodic passages reminiscent of Godspeed You Black Emperor!. The band blends the best elements of many styles of metal: doom, thrash, black, progressive and, yes, even good old "heavy" metal. Stephen O'Malley (Sunn0)))) designed the stunning cover art for the band's debut, befitting its sonic density and complexity.

Customer Reviews

Not my trip
It's called Lesbian. A sticker on the wrapper states "New Wave of American Psychadelic Metal, there's only four songs and the cover art is pretty sick. Should be awesome right? Why do bands bother to record vocals if they are just going to scream. There were some really cool moments and the instrumentation in places was quite lush and well crafted, but I was looking for more than droning passages of downtuned sludge and incoherent rasp.
Admitidly the cd may grow on you but my mind was made up the moment I heard the vocals. I put this in the pile of Mastodon, Giant Squid, newer Isis, and Kayo Dot. Likewise, interesting music, but Im waiting for the screaming nonsense over beautiful music trend to end.
