    They are definitely very Sabbathy and the vocals are basically Ozzy
clones.  No real surprises here.  However, they are not too bad.  I've got
some tapes of them--both studio and live material--and the music is quite
enjoyable.  I have not rushed out to buy their album, though maybe if I had
a real job I would pick it up :)

    Interestingly, I hear through my connections to Rise Above Records
(London doom metal label) that Tony Iommi contacted their singer for work
on his upcoming solo project .....

Cheers,
Carl
