Lord Vicar

Lord Vicar pairs Kimi Kärki (formerly of Reverend Bizarre) and Chritus (one-time St. Vitus frontman, and perhaps best known for his work in Count Raven), and if naming those three bands don't give you a hint about where this band is headed, nothing will. This is classic underground doom in the Hell's Headbangers Records tradition, heavily steeped in old Sabbath riffs and played with the sort of class one would expect given their past bands' work. Reverend Bizarre was one of the best Finnish bands playing this style, and Lord Vicar continues that tradition in fine fashion.
