I can't believe i haven't heard this band before...

They sound like a cross between Trouble, Goatsnake and The Obsessed (my favorites!)

Not too shabby. I could listen to this.

Here's a review I found...

Didn't I pimp these guys a long time ago? Either way, they're brilliant! Very different for a doom band, namely because of the vocals. All their albums are worth getting, though only Ringmaster is easy to find. S.O.L. and The Lowest End are very rare, unless you're willing to pay a good chunk of change.

Mark Zammeron (no longer in the band) also once sang in Blood of the Sun (http://www.heartofmetal.net/rip-f4/blood-of-the-sun-t5777.htm), another awesome band, though not doomy at all.

Amazon has that one fairly cheap.

Yup. Cheap copies on eBay, too.

I should also point out that Dusk is easy to find as well. Buy it from Brainticket Records (http://www.brainticket.com), John Perez of Solitude Aeturnus's label. I figure buying from him helps ensure future Solitude albums. So it's a good cause. Haha.

I ordered the "Ringmaster" album from amazon yesterday at a reasonable $8. The next copy shot up to about $60!

Eyesore is correct about the other albums being hard to find, or too expensive. (i wanted their latest one "dusk")...

I have Ringmaster and Dusk. Awesome band. They owe a lot of their sound to early Trouble and The Obsessed, definitely, but there's nothing wrong with that. So far Dusk is one of my favorites records released this year.

I have known Mark since High school. We were in a band together. He played bass I was the drummer for Wicked Angel.
