2007 Update: From an email I received from Earsplit PR: Southern Lord artists music in new Decaprio Film (11th Hour)!
Leonardo Dicaprio has hand picked songs by Southern Lord Recording artists: Khanate and Toadliqour for the soundtrack of his forthcoming film/documentary: "11th Hour". "The 11th Hour" is a documentary concerning the environmental crises caused by human actions and calls for restorative action through a reshaping of human activity. The Khanate track: "Torching Koroviev" (from their S/T debut album, cat#: sunn14) and Toadliquor track: "Charred" (from their eponymous album: "The Hortators Lament" cat#: sunn22) can be heard during the opening montage over the main title early in the film. The "11th Hour" opens in LA and New York theaters on Aug. 17th. For more info : http://www.11thhouraction.com

Their chief inspiration is the Melvins. No wonder why I don’t like them. I have no idea what these guys are trying to do. It’s just so weird. They say they have monolithic sub-harmonic guitar drones. Whatever. I don’t like like, I don’t get it and I hope I don’t have to listen to their CD ever again.

TOADLIQUOR- The Hortator’s Lament
I honestly have no idea what this is, other than crap. I guess I shouldn’t really say crap, because it is crap to me, but someone out there might actually like this. They say in the insert “Toadliquor just doesn’t understand.” I don’t think I understand either, so now I don’t feel as bad. It’s doomy metal with some guy yelling. He sure isn’t singing or growling, he’s just yelling. This is a comp of their self titled LP they put out in ’94 and it says it’s for fans of Eyehategod, Grief, Neurosis, etc.
