As taken from the BNR Metal Pages-
Originally known as Asylum (the name change was necesitated to avoid confusion with a national pop band of a similar name), Unorthodox are one of the members of the Washington, DC doom metal family, several of whom were snapped up by Hellhound Records in the early nineties. Like many of their contemporaries, they have a Black Sabbath influence, but it is less noticeable here, as in general the sound is somewhat more psychedelic in nature -- The Obsessed would be a prime reference point, due in large part to Dale Flood's vocal similarity to Wino. The band was less a Sabbath clone than some of the other Hellhound bands, and so, coincidentally or not, Balance Of Power is one of the best of the Hellhound releases.
