    Listen now: Lightning Bolt fuzzes up a monster groove

    Posted in The Volume by Hank Shteamer on August 18th, 2009 at 4:56 pm

    403Lightning Bolt’s world-class drum spaz, Brian Chippendale, has been tearing it up lately with his solo project, Black Pus, so we figured it would be a good while before we’d be hearing from his main band again. We’re happy to report that we were dead wrong in that assumption: A new Lightning Bolt full-length, Earthly Delights, drops on October 13 via Load; check out the cover art above. Lead track “Colossus,” streaming below—with an assist from the good folks at Arthur—is one of the heaviest things we’ve heard from the band. While Chippendale and his cohort, bassist Brian Gibson, tend to favor breakneck tempos, here they settle into an almost Black Sabbath–ish stoner-metal chug. Fortunately, the whole thing is filtered through the duo’s trademark bone-rattling (yet spirit-affirming) fuzz. If you like what you hear, check out Lightning Bolt live at a location-TBA Todd P show on August 30.
