BraveWords.com has received the following update on US black metallers LIGHTNING SWORDS OF DEATH:

It began seven years ago when a pact was made within a dilapidated house hidden in Southern California. It was here that Autarch, Roskva and Menno found themselves in agreement that should the occult sciences be applied to music, the results would prove extremely dangerous to their sanity, yet yield spectacular results.

Lightning Swords Of Death, as they would name it, would be in itself a meticulously designed hyper-sigil constructed to direct and antagonize the limitless dark energy that lurks within the less navigable chasms of the human mind and the space between spaces.

In 2007 the band unleashed The Golden Plague upon the earth. This declaration of unholy war was well-received and inspired a tour of the west coast and north western blocks of the United States. Audiences witnessed performances by men possessed by insane devils. Lightning Swords Of Death live continuously proved to be a conqueror’s fury leaving an ashen stain on every stage they destroyed. The tour began sharing battleground with bands like NACHTMYSTIUM and HIGH ON FIRE, and concluded with Lightning Swords Of Death opening for DANZIG during the mighty Blackest Of The Black tour.

The second release took the form of a split CD with comrades VALDUR which was only available for a limited time at performances during the country wide 2008 Blodhevn tour.

The split continues to infect all who experience it's unyielding expression of true chaos, but it’s only a precursor of the grand and terrible horror that is looming in the future like a headsman's shadow...

The band will pillage their way through Missouri for this year’s edition of the Kansas City Power Metalfest on August 14th then make their way to New York City on August 17th for a show at Lit Lounge’s renowned Precious Metal Party.

More dates TBA soon…
