REST IN POWER MIKE DOWN!

†SOUTHERN LORD† 27 YEARS OLD!!!

April 1st 1998 was the official unleashing of the Southern Lord label. Initially created solely to release (2) monumental groups that both Stephen O’Malley and I were involved in:

Thorr’s Hammer-Dommedagsnatt
&
Burning Witch-Crippled Lucifer (Seven Psalms For Our Lord of Light)
(which was a compilation of two EPS: “Towers” & “Rift Canyon Dreams“)

Both albums were released on compact disc by Southern Lord in 1998.
This primordial singularity in itself birthed the massiveness that followed.
27 years later and there are no words, no language to express the immense
honor it has been to be able to work with so many incredible artists.
Nothing but gratitude for being allowed to be involved.

Eternal Thanks,
†Greg Anderson†
Southern Lord Recordings

p.s. The Thorrs Hammer and Burning Witch albums are available digitally for whatever you want to pay via bandcamp for a short period of time.
