Jex Thoth - When The Raven Calls


A tormented psyched out spellbounding trip unleashed by this awesome California band Jex Thoth.

Named after the band’s striking female vocalist, Jex Thoth take their cues from the metallic strains of Black Sabbath and the retro experimentalism of Amon Düül II. Jex Thoth (formerly Jessica Toth) and bassist James Jackson Toth (leader of the experimental outfit Wooden Wand, and credited here as Grim Jim) form the core of the group, which originally took shape under the name Totem. After issuing an EP with that moniker, the group rechristened itself Jex Thoth and set to work on a full-length album, with guitarist Silas Paine and drummer Johnny Dee joining the lineup during the process. Keyboardist Zodiac completed the lineup, and Jex Thoth debuted in 2008 with a self-titled album of thudding, psychedelic
acid rock.

Trevligt! Det påminde om nåt jag inte kan sätta fingret på...

Men nu vill jag att ni lägger upp en låt av Diamanda Galas. Hon förtjänar det.

titeln Double-barrel prayer är kanske den hårdaste titeln någonsin. 8)

Jag har ingen stor erfarenhet av henne, ska kolla upp.
