Lightning Bolt Hypermagic Mountain LOAD 078 dbl-LP/CD CD/dbl-LP 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 of Exxon supertankers, all stretched into a triumphant war stomp that all can love. With just bass and drums (a two piece band you see) they have constructed the densest sound imaginable. Wonderful Rainbow LOAD 041 CD/LP 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 8 songs of bass so nasty it seers 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. LIGHTNING BOLT fill rooms all over this land, and this record is gonna fill the bill for those wanting extreme and heavy rock music taken to the top of the mountain. This is also useful for late-nite dance parties. Click here for an mp3 for your sampling needs.  Song Titles:
"First Record" a.k.a. "the Yellow Record" LOAD 026 CD This Providence RI-based duo plays a stripped down drums and guitar set-up. Lightning Bolt has been in existence since 1995 and has another full-length on Load, "Ride the Skies," released in February of 2001. This is a CD re-release of the LP-only release from 1997. Added to this CD are bonus tracks that were first available on a cassette companion to the 1997. The LP was had silk-screened covers and was available in an edition of 750 copies. Since 1997 quite a bit has happened with Lightning Bolt. They've received lots of press in publications like AP, the Wire, Index, and lots of others. Load Records is proud to present this first release in a new format from this shape-shifting, form-destroying, ear-crunching unit. Although their live shows have been marked by jet blasts of delicate sound shapes, this release shows sees the band playing with long sticky pieces of sonic taffy. It was recorded in the band's Fort Thunder space, this CD shows them using delicate tools to kill very large creatures. This record is long and elaborate in its power but has some surprising delicate moments. The record also pulse with hyper-humanoid percussion matched with bowel loosening bass doing infinite hammer-ons to the gods. Lightning Bolt has played with folks like Melt Banana and Ruins and share a similar sense of uber-absurd rockulism. Coming for Lighting Bolt is a video/DVD and a new full length. They've just toured Japan and are going across the United States again in the Summer 2002 w/ the Locust and Arab on Radar. Ride the Skies LOAD 031 CD/LP The future of music has arrrived! Lighting Bolt have recorded a record so high in fidelity, and so total in its bombast that the world will advance to the next level of evolution. With just drums and bass, trainspotters will name check similarly staffed outfits like the Ruins and Godehead Silo. Prepare yourself for much more�a band with all your 21st century needs. Noise and commotion, dance floor fury and intracite symphonies to washing machine squeaks. New music, guarenteed to include every citizen of Earth in a scrambling race to the finish line of complete sound! It is rare the sounds of the future are so appealing to all life forms. The band comes out of the Fort Thunder, Providence, RI locale and has played shows throughout the years with Melt Banana, Dropdead, and Thrones. Summer of 2000 saw Lightning Bolt tour the country with bands like Orchid, Locust, and Arab on Radar. These shows struck unprepared audiences like a swinging sockful of pennies. Crowds danced to the soundtrack to the armageddon for the the new milennium. Summer of 2001 saw another tour in support of "Ride the Skies". The video/DVD footage was shot on this tour. This is the most important record of a band at the forefront of the Providence Freak Rock Explosion. Check bands like Landed, Six Finger Satellite, Men's Recovery Project, Arab on Radar, Landed and so many others, and put Lighting Bolt as one of the most essential bands of its era in awe-inspiring, dance damaged, metallic overload.
