WHAT DO WE THINK OF SOTHIS?

Do we simply dismiss them because they play symphonic black metal, which Cosmo Lee posits might be “the worst kind of metal ever invented”? Or do we give them a shot to prove their own artistic merit independent of any pre-conceived genre restrictions or notions? I, for one, have no problems with symphonic black metal, especially the less cheesy variety proffered by Sothis. On a completely superficial level I also happen to dig their combination of corpse paint and giant beards.

But what the fuck does it matter what I think? What do YOU think? Watch their new video for “Of Night and Silence” and let us know.
