"From the arctic regions of the Northwest, come the Lords of the North with marching stories in song. Conjured souls, steam caves, swirling ice storms, love and loss, sunshine breaks, sonic assassin attacks. The Lords of the North bring sonic weapons and movement in hazy fuzz, powerful voices, and crushing delivery. Singer/bassist Pat Kearney (Automaton, Henry Hanks) successfully blends hard edged vocals with thoughtful melodies that stick in your skull for warmth and are both confrontational and satirical: "I see their heads will roll tightly into a smoke that will taste like from home." With the help of pounding skins from mighty Oarsmen Jim Roche, guitarist Tony Tharp (Black Fairies) holds the songs together with stony riffs, sludge, blues, and psychedelic glue. The Lords of the North continue on in the tradition of Blue Cheer, Sabbath, and Sleep; early blues based simplicity but thunderous low tuning with volume, intensity, and great hooks. Each song is a marching story, a moment in time with our exiled soldiers from the Northwest. The Lords are here."
