Lord Vicar will release Fist on 28 February through Svart Records.
The title and the tracklist are the new part. We wrote in the story about the record being finished that it was coming at the end of February and that nothing else had been said; now there are seven tracks and a name.
The first is called Open and the last is called Closed, which from a band who have always built records as single pieces is a statement of intent rather than laziness. Between them sit Wave Men, Faustian Bargain, The Fascist, Spirit of the Earth and Mos Teutonicus, the last being the medieval practice of boiling a corpse so the bones could travel home.
The Fascist carries a second title, Resting Place, which suggests the longest piece on the record and the one carrying the weight.
Lord Vicar have been going since 2007 around Kimi Karki, formerly of Reverend Bizarre, and have never made a fast record or a short one. Svart have put out most of them.
