Like the best 80s metal, they capture that B-movie vibe so well and when/if you catch the vibe, it's both transporting and fun as hell to listen to.

For me doom only works if it stems from the dark corners of the human mind. Like Sartre said: Hell, that's the Other. As a result Debby Harry singing "this nothingness" (Youth nabbed as Sniper) impresses me more than the entire output of Candlemass.<br />To pull off this kind of music convincingly you need the mental issues of Ozzy Osbourne.MNbnoreply@blogger.com
