I just came across these Canadian doomsters this evening and ended up buying this new MCD (along with the Chevalier MLP). Mention of Solstice and Bathory intrigued me so I gave it a listen and while it's a bit rough around the edges the unique vocals charmed me. Turns out they have been around for several years and have a number of releases including an album out already, so I'll have a bit of retrospective digging to do.

Music is cool but I can't hack those vocals at all! Im all for vocals that arent perfectly in tune, especially in doom, but these sound a bit too wobbly for me.
There's something in his enunciation that reminds me of the guy who sings on New Dark Age. He even seems to song with a slightly English accent. It works for me.
this sounds like if blind guardian doing badly recorded demos to me for some reason!

I'm not remotely familiar with BG but maybe I should rectify that.
