Salome

Salome is a defunct Dooooooom metal band from Annandale Virginia whose vocals are done by the extraordinary vocalist Kat Katz. Kat is also the vocalist of Agoraphobic Nosebleed which would be worth checking out if you like grindcore, specifically drum-machine grindcore. Now Agoraphobic Nosebleed is not my cup of tea, but Salome is fucking fantastic Doom. The band is baseless (!) but the guitar is tuned so low you won't even miss it.  Their self-titled full length album which was released in 2008 has less focus on vocals (they seem thin and more in the back ground) has a really melancholy feel to it but is otherwise a fucking masterpiece.  I better like 2010 and Salomes' final release Terminal just because Kats vocals are front and center of this album right where they should be and you get to hear a fuller range of abilities from everyone in the band.  The only thing that isn't perfect for me is Terminal gets a little weird and noisy on "An accident of history" which is like a million minutes long. I've heard it's a brilliant noise composition but to me it just sounds like a bunch of fucking feedback. Maybe more of a problem with me than with Salome.
