Southern Lord is an American metal record label that was founded in 1998 by Greg Anderson.
Initially, Southern Lord specialized in what could broadly be classified as experimental heavy metal, particularly the slow-moving doom metal, stoner rock, and drone metal sub-genres. Some of the more notable artists on the label include Earth, Om, Goatsnake, Khanate, Pelican and Sunn O))), among others.
More recently, the label expanded its line-up to include artists from the black metal sub-genre, including releases by Twilight, Wolves in the Throne Room, Xasthur, and Striborg. They have also released albums by hardcore punk and crust punk bands like Burning Love and Wolfbrigade.
Famous quotes containing the words southern, lord and/or records:
“... as a result of generations of betrayal, it’s nearly impossible for Southern Negroes to trust a Southern white. No matter what he does or what he suffers, a white liberal is never established beyond suspicion in the hearts of the minority.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 2, ch. 10 (1962)
“The lord is the peasant that was,
The peasant is the lord that shall be.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“What a wonderful faculty is memory!—the most mysterious and inexplicable in the great riddle of life; that plastic tablet on which the Almighty registers with unerring fidelity the records of being, making it the depository of all our words, thoughts and deeds—this faithful witness against us for good or evil.”
—Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
