Age Of Taurus

A British band on the Rise Above roster and featuring well-travelled doom bassist Leo Smee (Cathedral et. al.) would seem to point squarely at traditional doom. And that's a large part of the Age Of Taurus style, though mixed a bit with more traditional Brit metal and featuring clear, though not very strong vocals. Overall the tempos are a bit faster than ponderous Candlemass-styled doom, so there's plenty of solid riffing to be found, even if overall there isn't much new ground being broken here.
