Queen Elephantine are an Experimental Avant-Garde Stoner/Doom-Metal Band. As they draw many ambient and eastern noises into their music.
This band has been very prolific in the 5 years they have been up and running. Check out the following they have done.
"Queen Elephantine is a stoner/doom metal band from New York City. The band was formed in Hong Kong in 2006 by Indrayudh Shome and Danny Quinn but the line-up has changed several times and Shome is the only remaining original member.
They have produced two splits, one with Sons of Otis and one with Elder, three full length albums, Surya, Kailash and Garland of Skulls, and several non-LP releases."

I have heard of these guys before but have never really listened to their music. But I wish I had as I have missed out on some of the most original Stoner Metal Music out there.
I have to thank Concrete Lo Fi for sending me their new album to check out. Garland Of Skulls. A 33 minute 3-song masterpiece of Stoner Metal Weirdness and Greatness rolled into one.
I have been reading from other reviews that Garland Of Skulls is the band’s most assessable and commercial record to date. Well if it is I am going to check out their back catalogue ASAP.
As these guys rule on their new record. Full of great Stoner/Sludge/Doom Metal Riffs with ambient and eastern mystical effects pumping all the way through.
This is Thinking Man’s Stoner Metal. You need your wits about you on this amazing album. As I have listened to this a few times and am still trying to get my head around it. A sign of true originality in my book.
So their new release is superb. Brilliant artwork and production shine through.
If you want to check these guys out. You can download free of their selected previous releases from their BandCamp Page and Official Website mainly their superb release Yatra. So if you like what you hear you know what you are in for.
Now it will take me a while to listen to their other material. But it’s a journey worth taking. Highly recommended.
