Lesbian

Bio:

.. "By literally saying almost nothing, Lesbian say a whole helluva lot on Stratospheria Cubensis. Middle fingers to the clock, the Seattle band’s five spacey, mostly-instrumental songs stretch longer than Jerusalem it its entirety. Hard to do, but they pull it off brilliantly. Lesbian brutalize your ears early on and then sporadically across the record, but it seems the focus here is on slowly, surely guiding the album into something decidedly more introspective, technical and psychedelic by the time the needle lifts. It’s an album that shows what Lesbian are capable of and the truly unique viewpoint they have on heavy music. It’s as if Stratospheria Cubensis is an exercise in restraint and purpose for the band as they intelligently fuse style and experimentation. It’s an album brimming with ingenuity, depth and mastery." —Leah Sottile, Decibel

"Definately another 'heavy' winner from the eccentric Holy Mountain label, fresh from their successes with the likes of Om and Mammatus, two other question-mark-metal bands with heady, hypnotic abilities. Their thoat-torn vocals and the weighty riffage argue for Lesbian's status as metallers, while the many passages of quiet blissfulness reveal a surprisingly sensitive side, just as emotionally effective, each opposed aspect of their music enhancing the power and beauty of the other via Lesbian's devastating dynamics and psychedelic synergy. Recommended!" -Aquarius ..

"This is exactly the kind of wake up call that psychedelic metal needs in this country! As far as debut albums are concerned, Power Hor is among the finest I have heard in a long, long time. These four visionaries have brought to the table a heaping helping of seriously heavy music, and I don't think anyone who eats from the table of Lesbian will go away hungry. This band is a force to be reckoned with, and reckon you shall!!" -Kyle O'Donnell, Adequacy.net ..

"It takes stones for an all male metal band to call themselves Lesbian. But the Seattle quartet who traffic under that provocative name don't seem to be doing so for cheap outrage, but rather out of respect for an oft-beleaguered segment of society. Lesbian grind out pugnacious metal that frequently grows serpentine tendrils of prog-rock introspection and subued virtuosity. You can hear this approach to compelling effect at their gigs and on the band's album, Power Hor. There, Lesbian craft four epic suites of mullet-shredding, high-IQ metal interspersed with pastoral filigrees of King Crimson-oid prog beauty. Lesbian's mastery of dynamics and dramatic mood swings keep their music interesting; they realize your head is there for more than just banging." -Dave Segal the Stranger ..

"Lesbian bring together psychedelic metal and prog rock with unexpectedly agile and concise results. Like King Crimson locked in a room and ordered to deconstruct Metallica's 'Ride the Lightening...(Lesbian) take more than their share of stylistic chances with ornately constructed dirges and time signatures that make hairpin turns when you least expect it." -Hannah Levin Seattle Weekly ..
