LOTHORIAN started as a three-piece Stoner / Doom metal band from the lowlandsof Belgium. The band started in august of 2011, with the intention of making something new and special. The sound we create is a mix of heavy, groovy riffs with a dirty sound to make it an atmospheric whole. In April 2012, Niels C. of Worms Feed joined the band as the second guitar player and backing vocalist.

The guitarist (Thomas Francot) and the drummer (Jurgen Martens), go way back in playing together in numerous bands. Before they played together, Thomas played guitar in several hardcore related bands. Jurgen played drums in a Metal band. In the fall of 2010 they started a band called “Midnight Rambler.” Playing some rock-‘n’-roll. Everything went well untill the summer of 2011. There were some issues and Thomas had to leave, making place for a new guitar player. After that there were some more issues and Jurgen left the band. Now Thomas and Jurgen started playing together again, just for fun. At the same time, Thomas was playing the guitar in a Hardcore band with Jeroen Op ’t Roodt, (his first band) where he played bass. This is how Jurgen came in contact with Jeroen and the dice was rolling.

Before Lothorian, there was another project called “Natural Born Killers” a six-piece Stoner Rock band who played instrumental music. This never became a real band due to other priorities and other bands the members were playing in. So Thomas, Jeroen and Jurgen were the only ones left continuing playing Stoner Rock.

Lothorian was born in August of 2011. Playing Stoner / Doom metal. The only thing they needed was a singer. At one of the First rehearsals, Jurgen tried to combine drumming and singing and it sounded alright. Thomas also sang and they now both share the vocal part of the songs.

They have released a demo called “Shallow Ground” with four own songs in November of 2011, to save enough money for the recordings of their First album.

They have recorded their debut album called “Welldweller” at Safehaven Recordings in January of 2012. The album contains six own songs.

As you can see, we’re really serious about this. Putting all our energy in LOTHORIAN is satisfying enough to get a

step ahead every day, but a label who can push us into new directions and helping us spreading the hate around the

universe is just the fuel that we need!
