15.07.2024

New EP V.G.E.P. Out October 1, 2024

Following the announcement of their new EP, 'V.G.E.P'. out on October 1st, LORDS OF THE TRIDENT returns with the second single from the release, The Ballad of Jon Milwaukee. The new track is accompanied by a music video which is available below. Frontman Fang VonWrathenstein explains:

"This EP is all about our favorite video games, and one of my favorites is a motorcycle racing game called 'Road Rash'. We played it on our weekly Twitch gaming stream for many weeks, and when it came time to choose a character, we of course selected the character with the most Wisconsin street cred: Jon Milwaukee! As we played the game, the chat made up a bunch of lore about our bike-racing character, much of which made it into the lyrics of the game. When we were shooting the video, I knew I wanted to have real-life bikers involved, so I asked a friend to help me make introductions with a local gang. A bunch of cases of beer and a couple of bottles of Costco bourbon later, we had a date set up for the shoot. What I didn't know was that the gang had scheduled a large rally of all of the surrounding gangs to coincide with our filming! We had over 200 bikers at this rally (although unfortunately, a large chunk of them didn't want to appear on camera). We spent the day riding, drinking, and rocking out, and I think we became honorary members of the gang. Well, at least our biker personas did!"

About LORDS OF THE TRIDENT

Born from a volcano containing metal and steel, Fang VonWrathenstein's immortal quest was to assemble a band of the most metal warriors imaginable. After thousands of years and multiple bandmates captured or killed by the shadowy multinational group known as SPIDR, the LORDS OF THE TRIDENT are currently in their strongest lineup yet: Fang – whose voice will randomly set microphones ablaze – on lead vocals. The wrongfully disgraced aristocrat-turned-sellsword Baron Taurean Helleshaar on lead guitar. The shadowy master of samurai subterfuge Akira Metal on lead guitar. The high priest of death, Pontifex Mortis, on lead bass. And the animal-loving, percussively proficient Master Hercule “Herc” Schlagzeuger on the lead drums. Together, these warriors roam the lands in search of ever greater battles, more lustrous loot, and the strongest of heavy metal fans to join their metal army!
