I don't think there's a perfect genre name for this stuff. But it's a good blend of doom metal, tribal exotica, ambient, and a healthy love of the moods created by Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Shakti. My favorite doom band is Evoken, so there's gotta be a nod to those guys as well.
The guitars are heavy-ass baritones. Too many other instruments to mention other than that...try the first tune. If you like it, try the next...they are fairy well realized demos.

And if you love it or hate it, please let me know. I often wonder if there is an audience for this kind of tribal gloom (not that it'll stop me from creating it).
