Assayer

Melodic Harmonies and Creative Orchestration

Stinking Lizaveta

A Metal Band without Lyrics!

Thrashing metal band Stinking Lizaveta has just released its 6th album, and still have yet to employ lyrics into their music. Similar to all great jazz musicians, they tell a story with their music rather than words. In many ways, this makes the music more personable for the audience as it is left up to their interpretation on what the music is saying.

 

Currently they are finishing up a tour in Europe, but will return to their hometown by the end of 2012 to begin playing shows locally and up and down the east coast! All of their albums are available for purchase on their website via PayPal. So give this voice-less metal band a chance and experience what they're all about!
