I'm both impressed and glad to see Harley back in action... Harley Flanagan, bassist/vocalist of Cro-Mags and Harley's War fame, has officially signed with Southern Lord for several upcoming releases! Southern Lord owner Greg Anderson released the following statement regarding this new alliance with Harley's newest endeavors: " Harley Flanagan is one of the most revered, controversial and infamous musicians of the last 25 years of underground music. His resume and reputation speak equal amounts of vitriolic decibels as does his bass stack blaring in your face. I have personally been a huge [...]

Southern Lord has added Swedish crustpunks Martyrdöd to their roster and will be releasing their upcoming Studio Fredman-recorded album "Paranoia" this coming spring/summer.

Black Breath's full-length debut, Heavy Breathing , was one of those records that seemed to come out of nowhere, stamp its way into our consciousness through sheer force of awesome, and rightly claim its place as Thrash Hits' fourth favourite album of 2010 . Since then, we've seen Black Breath tear up dirty Soho basements on multiple occasions, and even triumph in the bright Summer sunshine of Sonisphere , and not once has our enthusiasm for the Seattle-based band's worship of Swedish-sounding death-metal faltered. When the news broke that the band's second full-length [...]

After at least decade as a band, Loincloth are finally set to release their debut full length LP for Southern Lord . "Iron Balls Of Steel" is the first recorded output from the instrumental metal band since a 2003 EP, also released by Southern Lord. From the label: "Constantly crafting and reshaping riffs into no-nonsense metal brutality, the album serves as an offering to all who feel that metal allows for more freedom of expression than other forms of music. Metal accepts extremes. In fact, metal is nothing without extremes! To create pure [...]

One of the major downsides of running a music blog is the continuous and never-ending pressure to find and celebrate new music. Don't get us wrong - there's a hellaload of great new stuff coming out damn near every day - but sometimes it just gets so goddamn exhausting . Sometimes you just want to throw your hands up and listen to music that the power and influence of which is already cemented in the firmament of rock'n'roll. Sometimes you just want to listen to music guaranteed to make you want to smash stuff up. This is [...]

For those who don't know, the guy who co-founded SOUTHERN LORD was an sxe moshbro back in the '80s and early '90s, and had a terrible/lulzy hardcore band called BROTHERHOOD.

On September 13, Wolves in the Throne Room are releasing Celestial Lineage (Southern Lord), which finishes the trilogy that began with Two Hunters (2007). This new disc is more organic (and perhaps less malevolent) than Black Cascade and, while these seven tracks are a noticeable step toward a more open sound, the disc incorporates all of the elements from the band's past. Immediately noticeable is the return of angelic vocalist Jessika Kenney (who added vocals to Two Hunters (2007) and "Malevolent Grain" (2009)) whose voice starts off the first track "Thuja Magus [...]

On September 13th, black metal experimentalists Wolves In the Throne room will be dropping a new album via Southern Lord: Celestial Lineage . And to be honest, I wasn't sure if I was gonna be looking to this one. I wasn't a fan of the band's output since 20082s Two Hunters , and it's mostly because the band had drained its sound of the atmospheric textures that made it so interesting in the first place. What makes the situation funniest is WITTR seemed to be jumping off the atmospheric black metal wagon as loads of unknown bands were [...]
