Search - Triumph of Lethargy Skinned Alive to Death :: Some Of Us Are In This Together

Spencer Moody, former frontman of the Murder City Devils, steps in on vocals. Pretty Girls Make Graves frontwoman, Andrea Zollo, pounds the drums, sometimes stepping in for vocal duties. The band rounds out with Corey J. Brewer of Cold Lake on guitar and Joel Cuplin of Suffering and the Hideous Thieves/Constant Lovers on bass. Moody's chaotic intensity has not diminished. His laconic, obituary-informed words are splayed against scathing, scratching guitars and a rhythm section that resembles a distant, approaching thunderstorm.Culling inspiration from a chapter of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Beautiful and the Damned combined with one of Brewer's imaginary metal bands, Triumph of Lethargy Skinned Alive to Death scratched its name onto the wall. Their newest LP, Some of Us Are in This Together, was recorded with the help of Dan Pirone and the resulting album is a caustic, post-romantic collection of hiss, tragic nostalgia and laments. Staggering between acerbic and vengeful anger to a mournful - almost hungover - mood the songs often build with an eerie tension, begging for release. Songs like Let's Leave the Elephant in the Room or Don't Lust After Other Women can veer from a pure white squall to an almost ambient calm.Triumph of Lethargy Skinned Alive to Death do what they want, tour when they feel like it, and will never, ever break up.
