Hailing from Albuquerque, New Mexico, LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT has managed to build one of the most die-hard fan-bases in the underground extreme scene completely “do-it yourself” with a sound all their own - a paradoxical paradigm shift in a world of monotonous metal. Sharing the stage with bands such as Vital Remains, Decapitated, Exhumed, All Shall Perish, Suffocation, Shadows Fall, Suicide Silence just to name a few. LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT has proved time and time again that they can hang with some of the biggest names in metal.
In late 2006, LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT inked a deal with SIEGE OF AMIDA RECORDS. shortly after the release of their EP “The Road Leads to Nowhere.” The self-produced and distributed album quickly sold out of all original copies without a single tour under their belt concluding that fans of true metal are still ravenous for gritty 70's horror flick themed music.
After writing and inevitably scratching nearly an entire album's worth of material, the band decided that for their debut album they needed to shift gears and crank up the intensity. In early 2007 they began pre-production for their new leviathan, “Among Flies” - an album consisting of 11 tracks, including matured versions of select old favorites from their EP. The album's title track is written as if to be an omitted chapter from William Golding's “The Lord of the Flies.” Traces of themes from the book are scattered throughout the remainder of the album as well. LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT was more than fortunate to formulate an all-star cast for “Among Flies” which features artwork by the legendary Simon Bisely (DC, Verotik, Marvel Comics), mixing by Grammy Award winning Neil Kernon (Nevermore, Cannibal Corpse, Judas Priest), and mastering done by Alan Douches (Mastodon, Nile, The Red Chord).
In the midst of pre-production for “Among Flies,” LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT received the invitation of a lifetime to open for the all-mighty DANZIG in a sold out hometown venue. Now, with “Among Flies” on the horizon, LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT plans on spreading in infestation across the land, restoring hope in contemporary metal to thousands around the world in the process. There is truly something for everyone on the album. LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT's sound cannot be pigeon-holed, it cannot be sub-classified, and it can simply only be described as “metal for the masses.”
Metal has always meant to be a counter-response to the safety of mainstream music, not revile in the gluttony of it; with LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, you won't find any tight pants, eyeliner or any filler, but simply five devoted musicians with nothing to prove but their love for dark, progressive, heavy metal, and their competency at creating it.
Horror film fans will recognize the name Last House on the Left. Not because it is a new band from New Mexico signed to Ferret Records’ Siege of Amida imprint, but because it is the title of the classic, warped 1972 movie where unspeakable acts of violence are committed. If the band Last House on the Left was looking to the film for inspiration for its metal, it certainly translates in the boot to the groin, neo-death, super grind of Among Flies. “Forever Dying” and “Bloodletting the Sun” operate at one pace - ultra fast. There are no breathers, no chill moments, or no comfortable melodies lurking around the corner on this album. Want to know what blunt force trauma feels like? No need to go out and get yourself clubbed over the head with a baseball bat. Just immerse yourself in the double bass drumming, gutteral, hellhound vocals, and death defying, putridly metallic riffs. Among Flies beats its listeners into submission repeatedly without employing any trendy conventions, such as the sing-along interludes. Rather, Last House on the Left sticks to speed and agression. There are a few choppy breakdowns, but for the most part, Last House on the Left lets the blastbeats impact like landmines.

Albuquerque, NM, is home to Last House on the Left; five men who stylishly blend progressive, death, and black metal, putting forth a sound of speed, brutality, and grimness in a way that only a few other bands can pull off. Among Flies, the band’s first full-length release, is like hell served up on a compact disc. The putrefied pig covered in flies on the cover is disturbing. The short, gripping intro, “Overture of the Maleficia,” is the most symphonic material on the album. “Night’s Ardor” is a crushing heavy metal opus, a song in which frontman Tyler Semyaza croaks about the taste of a gun barrel and the lead-reaper to come - a black metal song, almost literally. Imagine Gaahl thrashing around madly like the Haunted’s Peter Dolving. A good listen to Among Flies could plant such an imagine in your mind.
-Charlie Steffens (Metal Edge Magazine)

Hailing from Albuquerque, New Mexico, Last House on the Left may just be the single most bad-ass death metal band to ever come out of the southwestern desert. After several lineup changes and the usual bought of rocky times that all new bands go through, Last House on the Left overcame and earned their rank among their many other uber-brutal black metal cohorts. With their rousing in your face live shows mixed with pulverising vocals, effortlessly ass-kicking guitar riffs and double pedal laced drum rolls. It is not surprising that this band has built such a die-hard following. Need yet another reason to check out their latest release Among Flies? Then check out what their drummer Daniel McBride has to say about it, “It definitely captures out band’s progression as an entity, which is one of the album’s biggest strengths; no two songs sound the same.”

Once he finishes blowing out his larynx with Last House on the Left, lead howler Tyler Semyaza might want to take a stab at writing the Great American Horror Novel. Even if he sounds like Satan with an advanced case of throat cancer on the proudly underground metal quintet’s debut long player, Among FLies, the singer has a flair for the poetic. The Misfits themselves would be impressed with straight-from-the-grindhouse lines like, “Ravenous, for full moon’s in the air/Jugular puncture as I sink my pearly whites into your neck.” “I always liked horror movies when I was a kid, and I’m a huge Stephen King fan,” says Semyaza. “But what made me want to make dark music was when I started listening to Danzig.” Mission accomplished on the black-metal smeared Among Flies, which combines the singer’s choking-on-toxic-waste gurgling with the kind of shredding that made the ‘80s nirvana for underground headbangers. “I like stuff like Edgar Allan Poe,” Semyaza notes. “I wanted to mesh that with heavy metal to make thematic music.”
