Chulainns Hound

[Eoin McLove]

A new traditional doom band from the US here that will appeal to fans of Pagan Altar and Saint Vitus. The production is a bit rough around the edges- rehearsal quality but not to the detriment of the music. Nice use of dark melodic riffing and funeral keys. The distinctive vocals might be a turn off for some but anyone into the bands above will be well able for them. Liking this.

Mrs. Leeds' 13th Child sounds like a cross between Trouble and Hour of 13 to me.

Those vocals are terrible

[Eoin McLove]

If only I had thought to put a warning in the initial post that the vocals wouldn't be for everyone.  Next time.

Fair play to you

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Sounds interesting even through these crappy phone speakers. Vocals very similar to Rob from Mael Mordha.

[Eoin McLove]

Hadn't detected that similarity but I'll give it another listen later and see. Defo imperfect if you're after a squeaky clean, polished finish but he has character and I'm ok with a bit of vocal wobbliness of they otherwise bring something to the party, which is indeed the case here.

I was going to grab a tape but the postage rates from the US are prohibitive.

[Melmoth]

Some class riffs there. Nothing wrong with some wonky vocals as long as there's some passion to them.

Was tempted to pick up a tape, but as said the shipping is extortionate.
