Sludge-drenched spiritualism and cosmic heaviness converge in the next chapter from New Hampshire’s stoner-doom force LIZZY, which inked a deal with Italian powerhouse Argonauta Records and its (un)parallel label Octopus Rising.
Get ready for a hypnotic descent into drone-soaked doom and transcendent sonic rituals. Formed in 2017 by Andrew Szmauz and Taylor Paradis, and recently joined by Alex Vance (Laquerhead) on bass, LIZZY has evolved from a stripped-down duo into a monolithic trio, melding earth-shaking sludge, stoner-doom grooves and a spiritual sensibility rooted in both ritualistic minimalism and global musical traditions. Drawing influence from Sleep, OM, High on Fire and Black Sabbath, while channeling baroque, flamenco, North Indian and Middle Eastern textures, LIZZY is anything but conventional. The result is a trance-inducing, low-end-heavy assault where drone meets distortion and spiritual exploration collides with sonic destruction. As described by IfItstooloud.com on their debut album Dirty War Machine: “LIZZY feels like the plodding side of Black Sabbath, the sludge of the Melvins, the groove of early Queens of the Stone Age, and the insane noise bursts of Lightning Bolt… all in the same song.”
Their upcoming full-length, now in the work, promises to expand that vision even further: dropped-C riffs, amps on 10, sprawling feedback-laced arrangements, and deeply immersive atmospheres that pull the listener into temples yet to be explored. “We are absolutely delighted to share the news of our collaboration with Argonauta Records, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in our musical journey together, as we work in tandem to share our music with the world!” – LIZZY
