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 at heart an improvisational band. Many shows begin with them set up and waiting to go, racing off on the last note of the band before them with no break in between. They take an element of the song and work it into their set. The year 2000 saw the band taking a vacation to bolster their thinking, get new equipment (an 1800 watt bass stack) and come out swinging!
