Toronto’s doom blues legends Sons Of Otis return from their smoke-filled lands with their long-awaited new album »Isolation« this October 16th on Totem Cat Records!

Standing strong as ever on their veterans feet, »Isolation« delivers the heaviest stoner doom ever known to man, reminding fans across the globe of the potency of the trio’s signature fuzz and über-stoned grooves.

The Otis seed was planted in late 1992 by the trio’s founder/guitarist/vocalist Ken Baluke. The band was originally dubbed Otis, in homage to the character from cult movie »Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer«. The instant success of the six-track EP, »Paid To Suffer« as well as a prestigious reputation in the underground Toronto music scene led Sons Of Otis to sign to Canadian label Hypnotic Records. Their first full-length »SpaceJumboFudge« (1996) was to be the only album to come out of the deal.

An unusually long germination ensued due to the fact that they went through ten drummers before »Templeball« was released in summer 1998 on Frank Kozik’s Man’s Ruin Records. After a European tour with Electric Wizard, the band entered the studio for their debut release for The Music Cartel, »Songs For Worship«, which contained some of the most organically dense and psychedelic riffage known to man and just happened to be released on Sept. 11, 2001.

Man’s Ruin went under. The Music Cartel went under. Sons Of Otis finally found refuge in the waiting arms of Small Stone Records, and their first album for the label, »X«, arrived in 2005. Having spent the better part of the previous decade sharing the stage with bands like Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age, Clutch, Fu Manchu, New Kingdom, Voivod, Electric Wizard and Shallow North Dakota, the Canadians evolved from humble beginnings as hard and heavy abrasive rock from the great white north into masters of ethereal, blissed out, hard and heavy abrasive rock with subtle touches of psychedelia added to boot.
