Bio
Prepare
to be confounded by the audacious, audial onslaught of this low-down,
dirty band of bow-legged, box-ankled, lantern-jawed, crooked-nosed,
wall-eyed, gun-totin', goozle-chopping, cat-hamed pukes. Open your
ears and hold your noses. Open wide your gullets and exuberantly
imbibe the pile-driving dose of Southern remedy you never knew you
needed.

Review:
OH
HELL YEAH – Lamperjaw blend of Southern Metal tinged with slabs of
Sludge, Stoner and Doom Metal should get your heart-beat pumping as
it's packed full of great riffs. Lamperjaw may not have the most
complex of sounds but they make up for that in with groovy as hell
licks and awesome vocals to match.
Lamperjaw
do add elements of good-time Boogie Rock to their sound especially on
the opening track – Throw Me A Stone – that matches 70s
Boogie/Southern Rock with a more modern style of Stoner Metal sound
to show the band mean business. It's good old fashioned rock number
that shows you how talented the guys are.
Lamperjaw
change tact and style for the 2nd track – Blood
Dreams (ᎩᎦ ᎠᏍᎩᏥᏍᏗ) – which goes for a more
violent Sludge Metal style of sound which gives Lamperjaw an air of
menace and authority to take notice of. The vocals can be a bit
choppy at times but you can feel the passion and raw anger coming at
you from every direction. Some intense guitar solos make this a great
song for Lamperjaw just show their Sludge Metal credentials.
Though
its' the final epic track where Lamperjaw show what they can really
do as they unleash an unstoppable force of awesome Sludge/Stoner
riffs for you to chew on. Menace Of A Cruel Earth is a song DOWN
would be proud to call their own. Lamperjaw capture an emotional vibe
that will have you pumping your fists in the air as they tell about
all the injustices going on in their world. Lamperjaw add some smokey
psychedelic guitar licks near the middle which makes this song
definitely the standout track.
Lamperjaw
are a band to keep an eye on as they have the potential to go a long
way indeed. Southern Metal with a dark, dangerous and addictive edge.
Awesome stuff. Check it out for yourself as the Demo is available to
download on Buy Now Download from BandCamp. There is also a CD to buy
as well.
