Church Of Misery - Houses of the Unholy (2009)

There are quite a few Stoner Metal and Doom bands from Japan but Church of Misery is the only one I have found that sticks to the program of laying down serious Stoner Metal.  "Houses of the Unholy" is 44 minutes long and made up of 7 tracks each of which is about a different Serial Killer/Psychopath.  The opening track "El Padrino (Adolpho Constanzo)" starts off with a news reporter describing a horrific scene in Mexico where drug lord Adolpho Constanzo conducts ritualistic human sacrifices.  One of the victims is an American college student whos severed head was found with  the brain missing which is later found brewing in a cauldron at Constanzo's lair.  Rob Zombie can't even make this kind of twisted shit up.

Musically "Houses of the Unholy" leans more towards the hardcore/punk than classic stoner metal with a lot of DOOOOOOMMMMMM!

It's a good heavy ass listen that I keep forgetting I have in my collection.
