about

Originally recorded in 2008, THE LAMP OF THOTH took the doom metal underground by storm with their distinctively quirky and English sense of humour; the brainchild of Simon Rourke, and also featuring SOLSTICE guitarist Andy Whittaker, their live performances were legendary for being an absolute riot. This is something not usually associated with Doom metal, but adding incredibly large amounts of Whisky to certain members made every live outing unpredictable and most certainly bordering on dangerous.

These recordings were originally released on CD and vinyl by SOLSTICE guitarist, Rich Walker's MISKATONIC label and achieved cult status. Who else remembers when Ghost opened for them in Germany? We loved the Lamp, and so should you.

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse

Dream Quest Ends

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka
