Lair Of The Minotaur


Warlord!!! Shouts Steven Rathbone (Lead singer/guitarist) at the top of his lungs during their song with the same name. Lair Of The Minotaur (LotM) originated in Chicago, Illinois. Their greek mythology inspired lyrics, sludgy riffs with some thrash thrown in, and some raw production are some of the things that LotM fans have come to love about them. Playing a very aggressive style of thrash, people whom are very precise about genre labeling would consider them aggro thrash. Not quite sure what other bands would fall into this sub-genre, but that really doesn't matter much. Their latest release "War Metal Battle Master" wasn't their best album, but it did show the world what talent they possessed. The production on the album was much better then that of the likes on "Carnage". This band is one that I would highly recommend taking a listen to especially if you like sludge or thrash metal, or even maybe black metal?
