They have released three studio albums and done multiple high-profile tours till date, the latest album &#8216;Baphometic Chaosium&#8217; which came out via Metal Blade Records in January 2013 seeing them progress naturally with their musical creativity and finding a more focussed sense of direction. A couple of days ago, I saw them start a North American tour in support of Melechesh and Vreid at the Joint in West Los Angeles, and prior to the show I had the pleasure of talking to vocalist Farron Loathing a.k.a Autarch about tours present and past, the new album and lots more. Listen to the 13-minute conversation below, and check out my review of that show or visit the band online using the links at the bottom.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0BtZ76zfxkU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/metalassault.com\/gig_reviews\/2013\/06\/17\/melechesh-vreid-lightning-swords-of-death-start-north-american-tour-in-los-angeles\" target=\"_blank\">LA gig review<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Links:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/lightningswordsofdeath\" target=\"_blank\">facebook.com\/lightningswordsofdeath<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/lsodtemple\" target=\"_blank\">twitter.com\/lsodtemple<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>LIGHTNING SWORDS OF DEATH\u00a0w\/ Melechesh, Vreid, Reign of Lies<\/strong><br \/>\n6\/16\/2013 The Joint \u2013 Los Angeles, CA<br \/>\n6\/17\/2013 DNA Lounge \u2013 San Francisco, CA<br \/>\n6\/18\/2013 Hawthorne Theatre \u2013 Portland, OR<br \/>\n6\/19\/2013 Studio Seven \u2013 Seattle, WA<br \/>\n6\/20\/2013 TBA \u2013 Vancouver, BC<br \/>\n6\/21\/2013 Pawn Shop \u2013 Edmonton, AB<br \/>\n6\/22\/2013 The Exchange \u2013 Regina, SK<br \/>\n6\/23\/2013 The Zoo \u2013 Winnipeg, MB<br \/>\n6\/24\/2013 Station 4 &#8211;\u00a0 St. Paul, MN<br \/>\n6\/25\/2013 Mojoe\u2019s \u2013 Joliet, IL<br \/>\n6\/27\/2013 Wreck Room \u2013 Toronto, ON<br \/>\n6\/28\/2013 Foufounes Electriques \u2013 Montreal, QC<br \/>\n6\/29\/2013 Railroad Tavern &#8211;\u00a0 Keene, NH<br \/>\n6\/30\/2013 Europa \u2013 New York, NY<\/p>\n<p><strong>w\/ Valdur<\/strong><br \/>\n07\/01\/2013 Montage Music Hall &#8211; Rochester, NY<br \/>\n07\/03\/2013 Riot Room &#8211; Kansas City, MO<br \/>\n07\/05\/2013 Joe\u2019s Grotto &#8211; Phoenix, AZ<br \/>\n07\/06\/2013 Cheyenne Saloon &#8211; Las Vegas, NV<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Andrew Bansal Los Angeles-based extreme metal band Lightning Swords Of Death have had an interesting musical journey through the ten years of their existence so far.
