On September 25th, Rhode Island noise-rock duo Lightning Bolt will release a rarities collection entitled Oblivion Hunter via Load Records. The seven-track effort collects “lost” cuts recorded in 2008 and will be available digitally and on 12″ vinyl. The five-minute opener “King Candy” is pure, overwhelming dissonance, manically combining heavy drums, distorted vocals, and heaps of fuzz that detonate with the power of a noise-rock A-bomb.
In support of the effort, the band will be on the road throughout the fall, starting tonight in Washington, DC. Check out the pair’s full itinerary following the EP tracklist.
