Taylor Webb (Vocals), Scoot Scott (Guitar) Matt Funk (Bass), and Mike Barnes (Drums) formed Lord Velvet in 2022.
They are guided by Scoot's love of 70s rock and roll like Atomic Rooster, Mountain, Sir Lord Baltimore, Leaf Hound, and Deep Purple along with Matt's heavy psych influences, Taylor's soaring vocals inspired by Arthur Brown and Pagan Altar and Mike's punk and doom background to deliver a crushing and energetic experience.
"The powerful Sabbathesque vocal explosion is complemented by a performer’s combination of stoner/doom/sludge, as well as a psychedelic and acid rock elements." - timemachinemusic.org
"LORD VELVET are laying down extra groovy, psyched-out stoner and doom. Drawing from classic rock roots, the four piece blast through gargantuan riffs and acid freakouts on their debut album, which hit #5 on the September 2023 Doom Charts." - doomcharts.com
"With a runtime of under 29 minutes, Lord Velvet has given us a succinct experience marked by a dash of exploration and experimentation. Each song has weight and value, and that makes for a stronger overall record." - monsterriff.com
"Taylor has a unique vocal style that can be very bright and soaring that we hear often in stoner rock, or more of a doomy Ozzy/Christus Linderson (Count Raven/Saint Vitus) style depending on the situation. Without a doubt, his vocals are incredibly powerful and reminiscent of the traditional heavy metal/doom style." - cleanandsoberstoner.com
