El Doom & The Born Electric

8 Aug, 2012

After many years as main songwriter in Oslo-bands like Thulsa Doom and The Cumshots, Ole Petter “The Doom” Andreassen is making his debut as a solo artist. You’ll find a lot of other reknown Norwegian musicians in his backing band. Jazz veteran Jon Eberson has also contributed on the record. El Doom are exploring the progressive corners of their taste in music. The result is a record that oozes of timeless rock, which can be a challenge to begin with. When you’ve gotten used to it, you’re left with seven great tunes you can melt into. These guys have been listening to old bands like Deep Purple and Rush, as well as younger bands like Mastodon and Opeth. El Doom & The Born Electric still have a sound of their own. Such a solid band with such a solid record certainly belongs at The Øya Festival. https://www.facebook.com/pages/El-Doom-The-Born-Electric/280228895340482
