GATFOLD-COVER Brand new album by Australia's leading sludge-/ post-metal band! For Fans of: OLD MAN GLOOM, CURSED, CULT OF LUNA, BURST, CONVERGE, BREACH, BLACK BREATH Lo!'s 3rd full length album VESTIGIAL pushes the band to the next level.

The songs are well-crafted and have a larger scope, the sound is heavy yet organic, there is a great harmonic density behind the stupefyingly heavy riffs and the band sounds tighter than ever before.

One of the reasons might be that drummer Adrian Griffin, who had spent the last 7 years in Asia, moved back to Australia.

"This time we had much more time to all be together as a band and really work on the songs properly instead of the last minute rush that usually happens.

I think we all felt more connected now having Adrian back in the country", comments guitarist Carl Whitbread.

A world where politics resemble black comedies, where guns have become an aspect of culture and where addiction to technology is the norm is at the lyrical heart of VESTIGIAL.

"There are several repeated characters throughout the album; the JUDAS STEER, the LOCUST CHRIST...

these are anti heroes, the wolves among sheep figuratively. The ghastly Donald Trumps, The Kim Jong-Uns, the extremists and ignorant tyrants of our modern lives", comments Dillon.

After a European tour supporting Cult Of Luna in 2013, including a performance at Roadburn Festival, the band will be back in Europe this October to present VESTIGIAL.
