The heavy now heads north to the Mile High City of Denver, Colorado where LORD VELVET are laying down extra groovy, psyched-out stoner and doom. Drawing from classic rock roots, the four piece blast through gargantuan riffs and acid freakouts on their debut album Astral Lady, which hit #5 on the September 2023 Doom Charts.
Stephanie Zalta (DoomCakes, Screaming From The Heavy Underground) said: “As reviewers, we almost always say that a band combines elements of this genre and that genre to create their own unique sound. Well, LORD VELVET does just that and then some, combining doom, stoner, proto metal, traditional heavy metal, psychedelic and blues rock simultaneously to make something epic. The band always brings the super heavy, fuzzy riffs and crawling bassline typical of the doom genre, guitar that can be whatever it needs to be at any given time (along with some killer solos), and powerful vocals that can emulate anything from the soaring stoner style to that of Ozzy/Christus Linderson. LORD VELVET not only brings their individual talents as musicians, but each member has their own unique musical influences, ranging from punk to Arthur Brown and Pagan Altar. This ultimately gives us a record with incredible variety, never leaving the listener bored or tuning out.”
Their own words:
“Taylor Webb (Vocals), Scoot Scott (Guitar) Matt Funk (Bass), and Mike Barnes (Drums) formed LORD VELVET in 2022. They are guided by Scoot’s love of 70’s rock and roll like ATOMIC ROOSTER, MOUNTAIN, SIR LORD BALTIMORE, LEAF HOUND, and DEEP PURPLE along with Matt’s heavy psych influences, Taylor’s soaring vocals inspired by ARTHUR BROWN and PAGAN ALTAR and Mike’s punk and doom background to deliver a crushing and energetic experience.”
