But, enough about the name, let's talk about the Lesbian sound...it's leaden, melodic, dramatic and dynamic. The group's multifaceted debut album Power H�r on Holy Mountain (Om, Six Organs of Admittance) is considered the birth of the New Wave of American Psychedelic Metal. Each of the four-song, 61-minute album's tracks flowingly shifts moods, dynamics and styles. In any given song, Lesbian deftly lunges from a Black Metal style blast-beat-and-16th-note-guitar-line into 70's style Stoner Rock riffing and then equally effectively leaping into a lush melodic passage reminiscent of Godspeed! You Black Emperor. The band brilliantly blends the best elements of many styles of metal: Doom, Thrash, Black, Progressive and -- yes -- even good old "Heavy" Metal. Fans of bands like Neurosis, Emperor, Skullflower, Boris, Pelican, Sleep and Isis will -- as they say -- lose their s*** over Power H�r. [The press release was so busy going on about the silly name that they forgot to give a release date or even tour dates or we could provide them.]
