Emerging from the caustic burrows of Chicago comes
the monolith of metal called Lair Of The Minotaur.
Formed by Steven Rathbone in the spring of 2003 on
the heels of his prior band 7000 Dying Rats, he
enlisted Donald James Barraca (also from 7000 Dying
Rats) on bass and longtime friend Larry Herweg
(also of Pelican) on drums. With the line-up set,
LOTM recorded their self-produced six-song debut EP
in 2003, which eventually found it's way over to
the Southern Lord lair. The impact was immediate
and the deal was done, LOTM became the newest
addition to Southern Lord's goat farm!
Their intent is to make crushing heavy metal and
have each song tell a different tale from Greek
mythology. With a nod to the forefathers of the
genre: Celtic Frost, Venom and Slayer, Lair Of The
Minotaur take their vision of barbaric sonic
aggression and redesign the mold. Their focus and
direction is crystal-clear. They display a passion
and determination to annihilate audiences
everywhere with this "sonic colonic" known as LOTM.
Rathbone explains... "I try not to expose myself to
newer, unwanted influences. We wanted LOTM to be
everything we've ever liked about metal. Stories
about monsters & death, and music filled with
killer chug riffs that you can bang your head to. I
think what you edit out is just as important as
what you leave in. If a part doesn't kick ass, it's
out of there. It's hard for someone to admit that
they came up with something that kind of sucks. But
you have to be honest with yourself or you'll end
up with a song that's just "OK". Sometimes I'll
just pick up my guitar and start playing and the
first thing that comes out is better than something
I've worked on for hours. Have you ever heard the
saying, 'Keep it simple, stupid'? It definitely
applies here.
This is the formula:
Greek mythology + Heavy Metal = LAIR OF THE MINOTAUR."
In FUCKING deed!
