LO-PAN: Ohio Volume Dealers Premiere Vox At The Obelisk; American Trek With Black Cobra Continues

While Ohio volume dealers, LO-PAN, traverse the US alongside amplification duo, Black Cobra, and now The Obelisk streams Vox from the band’s forthcoming Colossus full-length.

Named for the Colossus of Rhodes — a ninety-six-foot statue of the Greek titan-god of the sun, Helios, constructed in 280 BC to mark a failed siege and the indomitable nature of the Greek city of Rhodes itself – LO-PAN’s fourth full-length was produced and engineered by Andrew Schneider (Unsane, Rosetta, East Of The Wall et al) at his own Translator Audio Studio in Brooklyn and boasts ten crushingly soulful psalms that reveal just how much they’ve moved beyond their influences to arrive at their own sound – a style built on aggression without caricature, fuzz without cliché, melody without redundancy and their meanest groove to date.

States the band about the track “‘Vox’ is about pessimism. No matter how well things are going it’s easy fall into the vortex of negative thoughts.”

Stay smiling and check out Vox now playing at The Obelisk.

And if you missed it, sample Regulus still streaming at Noisey.

As a precursor to the release of Colossus, LO-PAN is currently shaking stages across America with Black Cobra. Already a week in, the journey will zigzag its way through nearly three dozen cities, with additional LO-PAN headlining shows added to the jaunt. See confirmed dates below.
