Lord Dying Poisoned Altars

Lord Dying, Portland, Oregon’s sludge metal quartet, will be following up their 2013 full-length Relapse debut ‘Summon The Faithless’ with an album called ‘Poisoned Altars’ due out this Autumn. The band was in the studio recording the new album this past May with their new drummer Rob Shaffer, of Monarch, Dark Castle and YOB. Terrorizer sat down to lunch with the band – Eric Olson (guitar, vocals), Don Capuano (bass), Rob Shaffer (drums), and Chris Evans (Guitar) – to ask about touring, the recording process and the inspiration behind the new album. We also were privileged to catch the very first live show featuring the band’s new drummer, which was heavy, solid and passionate. If the show we caught was foreshadowing the future, the band has an exciting, doom riff-filled touring future ahead of them in support of this next album.

Naturally, over lunch, we began our conversation talking about beer and food. The band explained how they were a featured band in a heavy metal beer festival, for which they brewed their own beer…
