Madison, Wisconsin based '80's rock and underground classic metal band LORDS OF THE TRIDENT, have announce the unveiling of their self-released debut album Death Or Sandwich.

According to a press release, "the CD features 12 songs full of big choruses, melodies, and superb lead guitar playing like those of chart topping hair metal bands DEF LEPPARD, WARRANT, and DOKKEN mixed with the underground sounds of legendary band SPINAL TAP and over the top influence of the loudest band in the world MANOWAR."

The band states: "Our metal's so pure that only diamonds can scratch it and usually the diamonds are the ones that end up getting hurt in the end. Our amps are so loud, Manowar knocked on our door and asked us to ‘please turn it down’. Don't let your girlfriends near Lords Of The Trident because our music is guaranteed to make panties explode. You think you're bad? While you're watching our sweep picking wondering how we bend space and time to fit all the notes in, we'll punch you right in the face without missing a beat.”

Death Or Sandwich can be purchased directly from either the band or at any online digital download retailer.
