"Say you want it heavy, huh? Well, be careful what you wish for. LesserKnownGod is TOO heavy for you, you worthless little bitch. You can't hang with this, weak-ass. You don't even belong in the same club. Okay, okay. I'm being harsh, but it's only to prepare you for the ultimate thrashing that awaits you from LKG. On this three-song demo, LesserKnownGod exhibit a confidence, swagger and power most bands go to their demise having never known. The songs '10,000 Pounds of Hate', 'Inside Oneself' and the highlight, 'Evil In Disguise', sound like they should be on Headbanger's Ball right now. Thomas Crooks (drums), Joseph Fontenot (bass), Troy Broyles (guitar), J Blue (guitar) and Cody Blakely (vocals), all veterans of other projects like Spill, Ventt and Daemon, may have finally settled in on the one that suits them." |

"Saturday night brought me out to Lone Star Country Club in Coppell for Lesser Known God (playing their first show), Rex Mundi, Grain and Mudflap. I kinda feel sorry for the last three bands, because I had a hard time getting into them after seeing Lesser Known God. I really had my hopes up high for these guys, because of Troy from Ventt and Joe from Daemon/Self-Propelled Messiah being in their ranks. I can say I was not disappointed. In fact, I was completely blown away. Apart from some minor hiccups during the first song (gotta keep a grip on them sticks, Tommy!!), their set was completely flawless. To my knowledge, the other three members of the band have never been in bands before (or none that got any momentum going, maybe), yet they all moved like they have been doing this for years. There were no first gig jitters, no nervousness that I could see and their front man had no trouble talking to the crowd. They managed to bring a lot of aggression while still making good use of melody, in places. The whole set was just tight as hell. They are definitely a band with a bright future ahead of them. " |
