The original lineup of Lair of the Minotaur will reunite for an April 20 show in Chicago, IL marking the band's 20th anniversary.
The lineup of drummer Larry Herweg (Pelican), plus guitarist/vocalist Steven Rathbone and bassist DJ Barraca (both of 7000 Dying Rats), first formed the group two decades ago, later signing to Southern Lord and ultimately shifting the lineup throughout their existence.
The new/old lineup has recorded two new songs as well, sharing "Six Days in Hades" with us now.
“It’s been really fun reconnecting and jamming with DJ and Steve after a seventeen-year break. The original plan was to relearn Carnage for its 20th anniversary and play some reunion shows, until Steve sent us his ideas for ‘Dark Sorcery Beyond’ and ‘Six Days In Hades’ and it was a no-brainer to bang these out. Both tracks came together pretty effortlessly and were fun to track in the studio. I’m looking forward to their live debut later this month,” Herweg says.
Additional live dates are pending on both US coasts.
