Contrary to popular belief (well, ours until 5 minutes ago), Japanese Doom Metal doesn’t consist of cutesy girls in short skirts biting the heads off Hello Kitty toys. It’s actually similar to everywhere else, with grown-ass men growling into the mic while a drummer pounds the skins and a guitarist noodles his solo half way through the song. Church of Misery have been going since the 90s, doing their first European tour with Monster Magnet, and haven’t lost their heaviness. If you like doing the devil sign and moshing your head off, we think you’ll love them.
