USA - Active
Description
Orodruin plays Old school Doom-metal, St. Vitus style. Painfully slow music, clean desperate vocals but with a slightly melodic touch. Rhythm section in particular creates a good doomy vibe. Misery and unhappiness all round. Nothing romantic or "gothic" about this band. Straight forward old school Doom the way the Doom gods intended it to be. If you're a fan of the aforementioned St. Vitus or even Candlemass, there is a big chance you will dig this.
