Weapon of Truth- 11 songs constructed to take the listener through flowing worlds of static confusion and visceral truth. A holy tabernacle of amplification erecting sonic alters where songs are not only heard but also felt. Traditional blues progressions are gutted and fused with non-traditional fury, exposing the raw nerve of their design. These are not the meanderings of sub-models strumming away to produce a retro sound to match their British explosion haircuts. These are the sounds of kingdoms collapsing, these are the songs of those ready to explode. This is a hard and loud musical cleansing. Drawing influences anywhere from Blind Willie Johnson to Black Flag, Lord Sterling have written the soundtrack for the new millennium. Weapon of Truth is an album that took close to a year to make and will send some heading for the hills while others will rejoice in all it's glory.

This is definitely not the case with this debut record for Rubric Records 'Weapon Of Truth' - a disc that has completely Caught me off guard with it's disturbing, dream-like melodies, it's thought provoking lyrics and it's fresh improvised punk/rock and roll flair. 'Weapon Of Truth' starts off the disc immediately setting themselves aside from the stoner rock tag, sounding as if they had more in common with Iggy than Ozzy. The punk influences can be found in abundance here, although Lord Sterling doesn't beat you over the head wit
