Doom Rituals of the Occult...

About Me

When grimm bass-gaunt Morvidus was belched forth from the black earth of Isengard, he travelled North on a quest to find the apostles he needed to set the heavy music world aflame. Across the plateau of Gorgoroth in deepest Mordor he found Tytila, a desert chieftain with the voice of a banshee, wailing in the dark sands.Enlisting him on his mission, the two went West to the Dead Marshes, where they chanced upon Bladud, a travelling occultist, who was playing tribal drums for dancing witches in an opiated trance. After they solved his many fiendish riddles, he agreed to join them on their mission to destroy the known world with their own brand of cosmic doom...As they travelled the hard path through the Mountains of Mourn to the Land of Obsidian Pyramids, they heard a terrible electric howl from the peak of Lysa Hora. T'was Druis, an amorphous guitar sprite who preyed on passers by like a vulture. However, the doomsters stopped him in his tracks with their dirty groove and he agreed to complete their line-up.Having procured the greatest weapons they could from the forges of Dagorlad (a bass mace, some black amps of Sunn and some drums skinned with the hides of ogres) they came together to create sublime musical menace. With riffs of sheer Kliff, beats of disco fantasia and Liebling howls, the music of the warlock coven known as TOMB KING was ready to be unleashed 'pon the halflings and humans of Middle Earth and beyond.Hence a cyber-wizzard used his magickal powers to cross the psych-blitzes they created across the void and into the 'Inter-Web', whereupon the metal hordes did feast. Now, stand skyclad to the stars at the altar of DOOM, journey deep down into the depths of Agharta on our trail of sub-bass, and initiate thyself into 'Thee Eternal Cult of TOMB KING'!In the unlikely event that you want three pissed up doomsters to wreck your venue and annoy your punters, please e-mail [email protected] or message this page.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)Masthead Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com!
