2000 Lethargy Discography '93-'99 Spoth Records/Watchmen Records

Lethargy were a technical grind band from Rochester, New York. A bit reminiscent of Human Remains, but even more technical in terms of guitar and bass playing, drumming, and overall song composition. They carry grind to the highest level of musicianship I’ve ever heard. Their complexity and originality cannot be matched! With grind you can expect certain qualities, like screaming vocals, speed, and anger. Lethargy contains these elements, but they mix so many other elements into the music such as constantly shifting tempos, jaw-dropping precision and timing, strangely acrobatic riffing, a bit of humor, lots of melodies and harmonies, jazz elements, and even some happy guitar parts now and then touching on rock. - metal-rules.com (2000)

After Lethargy, Bill and Brann went on to play with Today is the Day before forming Mastodon.
After Lethargy, Erik played drums in Kalibas, formed Sulaco (G.V) and has been playing and touring with Nuclear Assault and Brutal Truth.

I had to break the file up into 4 parts since there is a 100meg limit on mediafire.com
