Lamassu has been announced as a contributing artist on Magnetic Eye Records, »Best Of Soundgarden Redux« album. Stay tuned for the launch!
The long awaited second album »Made Of Dust« is scheduled for release 21 June 2023. The album is sonically vast; from deep, heavy riffs, to moments of quiet introspection and soaring vocal harmonies, all complemented by the brooding lyricism of lead vocalist Chris Fisher.
The first single »Washed Away«, showcasing Lamassu in their full energetic glory, was released 17 May 2023 on all major streaming platforms and will be accompanied by a music video filmed by Luke Ray, who also directed the video for their standalone single »Know Your Gods«, released October 2022.
Lamassu released their acclaimed debut »Into The Empty« in September 2019, earning a place in the October ‘Doom Charts’ and making the ‘Doom Charts Top 200 albums’ list of the same year.
In October 2019, Lamassu embarked on their first interstate tour, performing in Adelaide, Hobart, Sydney, regional Victoria, as well as a number of dates in their hometown, Melbourne.
