LO-PAN’s Colossus Playing In Its Riff-Saturated Entirety At MetalSucks; Band Added To Roadburn 2015 Lineup

In celebration of the forthcoming release of Colossus, the hard-truckin’ new long player from Ohio fuzz rockers, LO-PAN, today MetalSucks is streaming its ten-tracks in full!

Produced and engineered by Andrew Schneider (Unsane, Rosetta, East Of The Wall et al) at his own Translator Audio Studio in Brooklyn, Colossus gets its name from a gargantuan 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. A fitting title for an album that’s equally enormous. Reaping the adoration of critics globally, Rockandrollfables.com gushes, “If Torche and Roadsaw had a baby, the resulting bouncing baby boy would be Ohio’s LO-PAN. Take those sludgy riffs and clean vocals that bring to mind Roadsaw’s Craig Riggs and you have the recipe for something great. On Colossus, LO-PAN continually defy expectations to craft a monumentally monolithic masterpiece from start to finish,” Capital Chaos commends, “This colossus of an album delivers ten rock tracks clocking in at about forty-two minutes that you will find yourself blasting at full volume in your car. Why your car? Cause this album was bred to be listened to while driving down a desert highway, top down with a hot blonde next to you, rockin’ out right along with you as you head to the beautiful coasts of California,” while The Obelisk notes, “…where their last full-length, 2011’s Salvador, was a pinnacle for their songwriting’s blend of fluid groove, soulful vocals and memorable tracks, Colossus reaps the reward of all their touring in pushing LO-PAN‘s methods even further. So it’s a meaner, more precise LO-PAN this time around….”

**LO-PAN’s Colossus is currently streaming in all it’s riff-roaring glory at THIS LOCATION.**

Currently, winding down their US jaunt alongside fellow volume antagonists, Black Cobra, LO-PAN will bring their fuzzed out stoner grooves to The Netherlands next year as part of the twentieth edition of Roadburn.

“Lo-Pan is honored to be invited to perform at the prestigious Roadburn Festival 2015,” says drummer Jesse Bartz, “We are looking forward to making life long memories and friends.”
