LIGHTNING SWORDS OF DEATH Signs With METAL BLADE RECORDS

August 5, 2009

Metal Blade Records has announced the signing of the Los Angeles underground black metal act LIGHTNING SWORDS OF DEATH. A new album from the group is scheduled for release in 2010.

LIGHTNING SWORDS OF DEATH is seven years of the making and has been praised by the likes of Decibel, SOD, PIT and Metal Maniacs for its unrelenting and irrefutably vicious sound. Those who were privy to the band's 2007 release, "The Golden Plague", are already aware of the band's prowess. Their second release took the form of a split CD with comrades VALDUR, which was only available for a limited time at performances during the country-wide 2008 "Blodhevn" tour. Metal Maniacs called LSOD's part a "heavy, bestial and brutal assault bringing to mind a young and hungry THORNSPAWN." The split continues to infect all who experience its unyielding expression of true chaos, but it's only a precursor of the grand and terrible horror that is looming in the future like a headsman's shadow...

Vocalist Farron divulges: "Metal Blade has made a pact with the Devil. His knights, LIGHTNING SWORDS OF DEATH shall go forth to wreak torment upon man and all his works for conquer and the glory of Hell on Earth. We rejoice in this union, together we shall stack the souls of the weak and fill our chalice with the blood of martyrs."
