HOW MUCH MORE METAL CAN LAIR OF THE MINOTAUR GET? NONE. NONE MORE METAL.

Lair of the Minotaur are the SHIT. They’re so fucking metal that after I listen to them, I usually shit lead for a week; so fucking metal that you could kill someone just by dropping a CD copy of Cannibal Massacre on them from a second story window. Seriously, I’ve done. Cracked a fucker’s skull wide open. It was cool.

So I’m elated to announce that the band have completed work on their new album, War Metal Battle Master – and if that name doesn’t get you excited, you have no soul. Sadly, the album – which will feature songs with such totally wicked titles as “When The Ice Giants Slayed All,” “Slaughter The Bestial Legion” and “Black Viper Barbarian Clan” – won’t come out ’til Spring of ’08 sometime, but, hey, we all need something to look forward to.

If for some reason you don’t know this band, go check ’em out on MySpace pronto – or, at least, check out their video for “The Ultimate Destroyer,” from last year’s album of the same name, after the jump.

Now, c’mon, be honest: that song rocked your balls off.
