Philadelphia-based Lotus Thrones, the solo project formed by former Wolvhammer and Across Tundras drummer Heath Rave during the 2020 quarantine, yesterday unleashed a video for the song "Fatigue". The song is the first single preceding the outfit’s debut album, Lovers In Wartime, set for release through Disorder Recordings on 30 July.
Following a five-year hiatus from releasing music, Heath Rave launched Lotus Thrones in the past several months, to stay creative and return to playing music during the lockdown. With the advent of technology making it easy to work alone, he began investigating new instruments and recording methods, exploring styles and genres of music he grew up on, including post-punk, industrial, goth, post-metal, dream pop, shoegaze, and more with an occasional nod to his hardcore roots, merging influences from the likes of Killing Joke, Sisters Of Mercy, Neurosis, Danzig, Justin Broadrick, Portishead, The Cure, and more, and handling all instrumentation on his own. After releasing several singles and cover tracks, Rave embarked on the production of the debut Lotus Thrones album, Lovers In Wartime, recording the album himself in January of this year. With Rave performing all drums, guitars, synth, keys, and vocals, the emotive eight-track album showcases the wide range of musical inspiration and homage its creator attempts to harness within the project. While waiting on the upcoming album, watch the "Fatigue" video in the player below. Link
