Lightning Bolt is a 2-piece drums-and-bass band from Providence, Rhode Island, USA. The band consists of *Brian Chippendale* on drums and vocals, and *Brian Gibson* on bass. They are known for their loud and chaotic live shows, where they have played on the floor instead of on stage until mid-2014. Their unique style combines elements of speed metal, noise, and free jazz.

If you enjoy the music of *Melt-Banana*, *Hella*, or *Zach Hill*, then Lightning Bolt's energetic sound will definitely appeal to you. Other similar artists include *Black Pus*, *Arab On Radar*, and *Black Eyes*. With influences ranging from *Brainiac* to *Liars* to *Drive Like Jehu*, Lightning Bolt has carved out their own distinct niche in the music world.

Experience the raw power and intensity of Lightning Bolt's music by exploring their albums today. Whether you're a fan of experimental rock or simply crave something different, this dynamic duo is sure to leave a lasting impression with their blistering performances and genre-defying compositions.

Thrill Jockey is an American independent record label that was established in 1992 by Bettina Richards, a former A&R representative at Atlantic Records. Originally based in New York City, the label relocated to Chicago, Illinois in 1995.
With over two decades of experience, Thrill Jockey has become a prominent force in the music industry. Known for its diverse roster of artists and commitment to artistic integrity, the label has consistently released groundbreaking and innovative music across various genres.
Thrill Jockey's catalog includes a wide range of critically acclaimed albums from both established and emerging artists. From experimental rock to electronic music, jazz to folk, the label continues to push boundaries and support unique voices within the industry.

Lightning Bolt redefines what it means to be DIY. An utterly singular band in every way, unbridled creativity and energy propel them well past most categorical boundaries, least of which is the boundary between band and audience. Theirs is an immersive experience – a sound so huge it can swallow us all. 

Oblivion Hunter is a monster. Not a compilation, not concept album and more than the sum of its parts, the record is a peek into the band’s inner world on their home turf (the Hilarious Attic in Providence), collecting deep explorations into distortion, bass manipulation and its intersection with rhythm. A Limited release in 2012 sold out almost immediately. This first re-issue is a deluxe one coming with 4 different covers each matched with it’s own colour vinyl. Re mastered by Josh Bonati, you can now immerse yourself in this pivotal Lightning Bolt album’s sonic oblivion and you are now the Oblivion Hunter.

A cathartic listening experience, Oblivon Hunter finds blast-beats colliding with distorted vocals and all shapes and sizes of guitar noises, even some metallic riffage on the album closer and aptly named “World Wobbly Wide.” Throughout, the sound is amped-up and free with an ear on the railroad tracks to the big sounds of industry and clamor. Bass sounds jump out of the speaker cones that conjure up ears in alien propulsion systems, nights in faraway wind tunnels. Experience this pivotal album in Lightning Bolt’s catalog like never before.
