Whether it was a Dog Shaped Man, the Midnight Animal or a hospital run by werewolves, not even the most nightmarish creatures could tame The Lion's Daughter. What began in the mid-2010s as a horror-stricken, blackened and sludgy trio rabidly evolved into a frightening, futuristic, synth-metal foursome.
Now, after two decades and five skin-tillating albums, The Lion's Daughter are going out on their own terms.
"Bands are not supposed to last forever", says guitarist, synth player and vocalist Rick Giordano. "It's been 18 goddamn years. We've done every single thing we ever set out to do. Each of us will continue to play music (and more than likely with each other), but this thing called The Lion's Daughter...well, we did that already.
"Some bands don't know when to quit, and we don't want to be one of those bands", Rick continues. "Instead of trudging along for another X amount of years, we'd rather go out with a bang and play one last show with our friends! And we're going to donate every dime from that show to Stray Rescue. Hating people and loving dogs has always kinda been our thing".
The Lion's Daughter will play their final show on June 21 in the band's hometown of St. Louis, Missouri at Off Broadway. They'll be joined by local doomsayers Fister, the recently reunited Sine Nomine, mighty progressive sludgers Path of Might, and freshly blackened death metal band Furnace Floor. All proceeds from the show will benefit Stray Rescue of St. Louis.
"This isn't a sad thing", Rick emphasizes. "Bands SHOULD end, and we're raising money for pups".
