Translation Loss Records has announced the signing of
LESBIAN. The Seattle, Washington band's third full-length offering,
"Forestelevision", is a single-song, 44-plus-minute all-encompassing force of nature. Never has an album sifted through the deepest trenches of prog-influenced epic-doom and blackened metal to produce such an awe-inspiring aural assault to the senses. Recorded at
Avast! Studios with longtime producing collaborator
Randall Dunn (
WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM,
EARTH,
BORIS) and featuring gorgeous artwork by
Arik Roper, the effort will see an early/mid-2013 release on CD (digipack), digital and 2xLP. The 2xLP version will come housed in deluxe gatefold packaging and include an exclusive vinyl-only extended outro bonus track.
Consisting of guitarists
Arran McInnis and
Daniel La Rochelle, bassist/vocalist
Dorando Hodous and drummer
Benjamin Thomas-Kennedy,
LESBIAN has grown accustomed to composing lengthy eclectic journeys that take the listener through myriad genres ranging anywhere from doom to prog to psyche to '70s rock to black metal to grunge and beyond.
"Forestelevision" continues
LESBIAN's music genre-defying journey from their prior full-length on
Holy Mountain Records called
"Power Hor", a split 10-inch with
OCEAN on
Roadburn Records, an independently released two-song tour EP, and a second full-length on
Important Records called
"Stratospheria Cubensis".
