Editor's note

Magnanimous Lethal's dark, sprawling rock catalog

A band that built a catalog of intense, oddly-titled songs across a decade of albums.

For a sense of their range, try 'I Will Be A ( Fuck ) Good Friend' and 'Our Indestructible Family' back to back. They're both from that 2008 debut but point in different directions.

Their songs have titles that tell you something about their approach - 'I Will Be A ( Fuck ) Good Friend' isn't exactly subtle, and 'When Your Soul Be Knifed For A Bad' suggests a certain mood. They recorded for Shadow Records and put out albums like 'An Earth Pass Us In The Side' and 'Echoes of the Dying' that feel like chapters in a particular kind of heavy, narrative rock.

They formed in 2005 with Alex Volkov on vocals, James Blackwood on guitar, and Ethan Carter on drums. Their debut 'An Earth Pass Us In The Side' came out in 2008, followed by albums like 'The Harbinger Within' in 2010 and 'Ashes of the Sun' in 2012, with bassist changes along the way.
