Lightning Bolt

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Lightning Bolt emerged from Providence, Rhode Island in 1995 as a three-piece art school project. Initially there was Brian Chippendale's explosive, non-stop drumming, Brian Gibson's Contortions-like bass lines, and Hisham Bharoocha's vocals propelling them in a fury of volatile noise and orgiastic tribalism. The group helped found Fort Thunder, a music and art collective, and recorded a self-titled album which was issued through Load in 1999. By 2001's Ride the Skies Bharoocha had departed (he eventually formed Black Dice.). This left the vocal duties to Chi...[more]

 

 

REISSUE! Lightning Bolt has been hammering out molten riffs and searing volume since 1995. What started out as a three-piece is now just a duo (Hisham, the vocalist, is now the drummer for Black Dice). With the change, Lightning Bolt have refined their attack and now can turn a riff on a dime into a breakneck turnaround. Fundamentally, a rockin' improvisational band.

The much-anticipated follow-up to 2001's album Ride the Skies, Wonderful Rainbow pulls out all the stops. Recorded loud and proud over a year, this record grabs your throat with eight songs of bass so nasty it sears human flesh on contact, and drums so mighty they liquefy brain cells on impact. Yes, reference two-piece/crazy/heavy rock bands like Ruins, Slayer, and (Soul Discharge-era) Boredoms, but you'll come up a few cents short on every pound of this two-ton heifer.

This Providence, RI duo plays stripped-down drums and bass like form destroying, shapeshifting thunder using delicate tools to kill very large creatures. What we're trying to say here is Lightning Bolt is long and elaborate in its power, with surprisingly delicate moments.

All killer, no filler follow-up to 2003's Wonderful Rainbow, Hypermagic Mountain slams into hyperdrive for a full 57 minute ride. The songs are dense and constructed from an intense three week recording session deep within a psychic sweatbox. The band has blurred differences to any other sound pirates with this record using a primal base and a new musical vocabulary fueled by chemistry-altering volume and kick ass SONGS! Throbbing low-end played on a 300 foot long bass and kick drums the size    [ read more ]

Highly Recommended! Since 1995 Lightning Bolt has been hammering out molten riff coupled with searing volume. What started out as a three piece, with a singer, now is pared down to a duo. Hisham, the vocalist (heard on the track from LOAD 011 Repoulation Program) is now the the drummer for Black Dice. In the years in between Lightning Bolt has refined their attack and sounds increasingly intricate. Able to turn a riff on a dime into a breakneck tunaround. Althought the band has songs, they are a   [ read more ]

Lightning Bolt's 2003 album Wonderful Rainbow just kept getting bigger and bigger, like a 16-ton amplifier falling out of the noon sky. Its bass tone squashed round heads into wrecked ellipses, and the drums chattered away as if on a chain drive. The album was the opposite of Excedrin, a tension headache in ten movements. Lightning Bolt have done it again with 2005's Hypermagic Mountain. It's hard to say this is accessible; besides, if you did say that, no one would hear it anyway. But bassist {   [ read more ]
