With the impending release of the first Ozzy Osbourne-fronted Black Sabbath album since 1978 to be released in the coming days, doom metal is most certainly on the rise. One such band is one I have only become familiar with in the past year and that would be Japan's Church Of Misery. The band is chock full of riffs and lyrical content that has covered only the most vile serial killers this planet has ever seen. Thy Kingdom Scum is their 5th album and their first in 4 years and it is more of the same great doom that you should expect from this band from the land of the rising sun.
