Music to listen to: Lamp of Thoth

Lamp of Thoth is a Doom Metal band from West Yorkshire, England and was form in 2006. Right now they are signed to The Miskatonic Foundation. If you like your songs with some nice riffage and some corny lyrics, Lamp of Thoth is of you.

They have one full length out, called Portents, Omens & Dooms, which is their best release. I didn't think their EP, Sing as you Slay, was all that great.

(((Doom or be Doomed)))

Music to listen to: Saint Vitus

One of the most underrated bands. These guys are the 1970's version of Black Sabbath, but you don't see kids in high school sporting their shirts or talking about them. The recently got back together with their (in my opinion) best vocalist that goes by the stage name Wino.

Above is the song 'Clear Windowpane' from their most popular album 'Born too late' that was released in 1986. I saw them last year playing in San Francisco, they fucking rocked. Check out wiki for more info.

Experimental Japanese band goes pop

One of my favorite Japanese experimental bands, Boris, has released the new single for their upcoming album "Attention Please". The song is called hope, you can download it here.

The band has more than 20 full releases since they formed in 1996, ranging from Drone/Doom to fuzzy Rock n' Roll. Check out their wikipedia entry.
