Female-fronted traditional doom? You betcha! I saw a review for their album on a metal site I frequent and knew there were some dude/dudettes on this board who would dig it like I did. :wave:

Enjoy this sample from YouTube:



CD is released on a Euro label...don't know if they have US distribution (yet).:
