Named after a British ale, Centurions Ghost formed in 2001 and debuted with A Sign Of Things To Come on the Swedish I Hate label. This is raw, grindy doom metal, along the lines of prime Celtic Frost and Cathedral, crushingly heavy, with raspy, almost black-ish vocals. They aren't afraid to mix up the pace, alternating between funeral doom speed (see "Misery Serenade") and more uptempo numbers ("The Eighth Deadly Sin"). Very promising stuff.
