In addition there aren't really any instances of death/goth/stoner/sludge in the music (thus far) and the vocals are rather epic sounding all of which lands the band squarely in the traditional doom realm. One of the better bands to come along and be labeled as such as far as I'm concerned. Wish more "tr00" doom was as appealing as what the Wounded Kings have concocted. Nice interview, killer band!

I know I need to work on my commenting skills. Forming one complete thought/opinion before posting. I get over anxious, or maybe it is the onset of midlife ADD… SQUIRREL!

I’m not sure I’m getting the traditional doom tag though. Is it the vocals and/or keys? I’d be more apt to compare these guys to their fellow countrymen, Moss. Ah…moss I could go off a bit here. Speaking of moss who ever said the following obviously has never heard Moss… ;-) “Some people think it’s too slow. I’m thinking, fucking hell. Some reviewer, he said, “Man, this is just terrible. It’s like shoot-yourself-in-the-fucking-head slow.” And I agree with: “That’s fantastic, mate!” You know, this one is a grower for me I think.
