Haarp

While the New Orleans-based metal band haarp often plays at the sludgy pace of other doom metal acts, it also infuses all of its music (from the slow sections to the fast ones) with more than enough face-melting power to keep the pressure up near the boiling point. Known for its insane live show, haarp's secret weapon is singer Shaun Emmons, who delivers every line with impressive, throat-shredding conviction.
