High Hell

Finnish doom metal will descend on Madison in the form of Cardinals Folly, a heavy-as-a-glacier trio that follows in the thudding footsteps of Black Sabbath, Cathedral and Electric Wizard. (For the curious: The band’s name apparently was inspired by the Duc de Richleau series of occult novels written by Dennis Wheatley.) Opening this evening of massive riffery will be two Madison bands: doomy duo Twichard and self-proclaimed masters of “True Scontanic Weedbeat” High Hell.

Cardinals Folly (Finland)

FINNISH PSYCHOTIC HEAVY DOOM METAL CULT - originally formed as The Coven back in 2004, laughing at stoner/retro trends as Cardinals Folly since 2007.Cardinals Folly is one of those great bands which get too few attention from the actual overcrowded scene which tends to turn more and more into extreme or retro sounds and forsake more traditional METAL with guts and heart, melody and harmony!

This is classic Doom-laden Heavy Metal with many elements of the 80's - not just for the twisted melodic solos, some occasional high pitched screams typical of that period, but also for its rough epicness, tinged at times with a slight black metal nastiness. It's HEAVY - but we're not talking about amplifier worship stoner doom trend-heaviness here. We're talking REAL METAL, in the vein of the metal masters BATHORY, CATHEDRAL, BLACK SABBATH, ELECTRIC WIZARD, REVEREND BIZARRE, VENOM etc...

Trends? Fuck trends. Cleaned-up retro? Fuck that, too. Cardinals Folly are following their own path while penning love notes to traditional forms. The bass tone is distinctive and it's black pulse connects with the elder gods outside time and space.
