Lair of the Minotaur
BIOGRAPHY
Lair Of The Minotaur was formed by vocalist/guitarist Steven Rathbone in 2003 due to his other band, 7000 Dying Rats, becoming solely a studio project, giving up playing live. He enlisted fellow 7000 Dying Rats bandmate Donald James Barraca on bass and long-time friend Larry Herweg as drummer (of post-metal band Pelican).
Wasting no time, LOTM recorded their self-produced 6-track debut EP in 2003, eventually finding its way into the hands of Southern Lord Records. Immediately impressed, Southern Lord signed up LOTM, releasing their debut full-length Carnage in 2004, the second EP Cannibal Massacre in 2005 and the follow-up album The Ultimate Destroyer, in 2006.
2008 brings us LOTM's third full-length, the ferocious War Metal Battle Master.
