Lo-Pan – Ozymandias

The second single of the new LO-PAN album Get Well Soon has a damn cool video treatment! After already rocking out with The Good Fight we can now get freaky with Ozymandias! Album comes out through Magnetic Eye Records on April 4th… But after watching Ozymandias, I’m seriously thinking about inventing a time machine and skipping a month or two…

PR Wire:

LO-PAN reveal video single 'Ozymandias'
taken from the forthcoming new album
"Get Well Soon"

LO-PAN unveil the performance video 'Ozymandias' as the next advance single taken from the American hard rockers' forthcoming album "Get Well Soon". The new full-length from the long-running foursome from Columbus, Ohio will hit the streets on April 4, 2025.

The title 'Ozymandias' refers to the Greek version of the name of the Egyptian warrior-pharaoh Ramesses II, which inspired a sonnet by English Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley as well as the mass-murdering antagonist of the acclaimed graphic novel "Watchmen" (1986) by writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons.

On further news, LO-PAN have just announced five album release shows in Ohio and Kentucky. All confirmed dates are listed below.

Please see below for album details and biographical information.

LO-PAN comment: "We wrote 'Ozymandias' as the last song for the album and when I came up with these riffs, I immediately knew that they belonged on this record, and the rest of the guys ultimately agreed", guitarist Chris Thompson states, while drummer Jesse Bartz explains the most striking visual aspect of the video: "Our female parental units are the true rockstars in all of our lives. This video was an amazing experience and a great opportunity to bring them all together and to celebrate our music." Jeff Martin gets the final word: "Basically, this song is about acknowledging the impermanence of power and also the existence of objective truth", the vocalist adds. "Just take a look around at global events, if you need examples."
