Holy Crap! Lions!
Super influential band that the last 10 years has completely forgotten about. Devin Townsend played with them for a bit and some of his earlier solo songs were collaborations with Ginger.
Really unique band. Every song and album is really different so I'll post some stuff sneap forumers might dig. Wierd to think some of these were #1 in the middle of the britpop heyday. Pretty heavy all things considered.
Same sort of vibe, has some Pantera like riffs towards the end:
