Lair of the Minotaur reveals tracklisting

Lair of the Minotaur's third full length on Southern Lord Records, War Metal Battle Master, is a concept album about solving conflicts with a big fucking axe. Recorded at Volume Studios in Chicago by Sanford Parker and mastered by Scott Hull, the album shall be unleashed for human consumption on March 25, 2008. The songs are a mix of the thrashing aggression & mega-riffage of The Ultimate Destroyer and the unrelenting beatings & Sabbath chugs of Carnage, mixed with a new emotionless ferocity reserved for an executioner.
