The Wandering Midget - Serpent Coven

Possessing possibly the worst band name ever, one word comes to mind when thinking of The Wandering Midget: Retarded and Stoned. (OK, that's three words but you get the drift.) But the good thing is that this is actually a compliment, or somewhat of a compliment anyway, as this is retarded and stoned doom metal at it's finest. Sludgey, loose to the point of being out of time, and just really really doomy 'n' hashy, this is a band that most doom fans will dig.

These guys follow a pretty simple formula, but somehow it's still all fairly unique. It basically sounds like Electric Wizard mixed with some of the slightly-less-baked sounds of old school doom, a good mix of the sludgier sounds of the more modern school with the epic strains of Candlemass, which can only be a very good thing.

The Wandering Midget - I am The Gate

Force-bred in the catacombs of the holy inquisition, The Wandering Midget has spread their unholy message amongst earth people since 2005, playing traditional Doom Metal... and whatever else they want to! The band's most notable musical influences can be traced back to traditional Doom and Heavy Metal. The music also carries traces of 70's Progressive and Psychedelic Rock, while the lyrics deal mostly with horror, fantasy and mythology. Main inspiration comes from the world surrounding them, cult horror cinema and writers such as H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe and Robert E. Howard. TWM possess the power to crush and cripple all those who cross their path.
And remember cultists... keep watching the stars! ;)

Combines the "First Encounter" demo and the "I Am The Gate" demo.
