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:
“When Abraham Lincoln penned the immortal emancipation proclamation he did not stop to inquire whether every man and every woman in Southern slavery did or did not want to be free. Whether women do or do not wish to vote does not affect the question of their right to do so.”
—Mary E. Haggart, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 3, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 33:11.
“Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
And even old men’s eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
Babbling of fallen majesty, records what’s gone.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
