I checked these guys out a while back and I was actually pleased with what I heard. I mean, it didn't knock me off my feet, but it was good. I am not really a fan of Black Sabbath, which is weird, b/c I do hear a lot of Sabbath in this as Ken said.

They are indeed very good. I was sent a CD of in-studio demos from the Ages Of Winter sessions and two unreleased tracks yesterday and they're killer! There's a lot more doom metal than I expected. The songs are definitely Sabbath meets Clutch like I said, but there's more to them than that.

I'm anticipating Ages Of Winter to be in my top 2006 lists.

I saw the video a few times, it was pretty meh. I guess I'm just sick of all these lame and unnecessary Sabbath offspring, but I find their music entirely dull and uninteresting.

BTW, the sword did very good on the show. Much much better then Down. Anselmo was stoned out of his mind.

Priestess are much more of a rock band than doom or heavy metal. A great band, but not what you're looking for, I don't think. Try this:

http://www.myspace.com/heathendom

Not sure what you consider to be "gay vocals," though. Heathendom are fucking awesome!
