The Burning Halo
Finding ponderous, majestic gothic metal with female vocals on Napalm Records is about as shocking as finding an egg coming out the ass of a chicken.

Musically, the band stuck out like a fistful of sore thumbs, too — the power metal revival was kicking into high gear, but ma...October 2, 2006

Somewhere between doom, sludge, the art-ravaged psych crunge of YOB,...September 24, 2006
