Thulsa Doom is back with its first album in 12 years. Thulsa Doom is the brainchild and first
band of famed Norwegian producer guitarist El Doom a.k.a Ole Petter Andreassen. El Doom is
mostly known around these parts for making havoc with legendary The Cumshots and playing some
of the best prog-rock around with his El Doom & The Born Electric outfit. He has also produced
recorded a whole lot of other Norwegian bands including Mayhem Gluecifer Hurra Torpedo The
Wonderfools and Lonely Kamel to name a few. Thulsa Doom put out three albums and an EP between
1999 and 2005. Bjarte Lund Rolland of KVELERTAK says: If the Seats..” album is Norways take on
Blues for the Red Sun” then ..Jars” is the equivalent to Songs for the Deaf”. This masterpiece
does the same job of lifting stonerrock out of the blues-doom-jam-hell the genre became at a
certain point. Less stoner more rock less riff parades and more SONGS made with finesse and
a swagger that stands up to anything ever released in Norway. Jars” is fully formed all the
songs are classics the dynamics and variations makes this album one of very few in Norwegian
rock that stands for a fabulous listen from start to finish … Jars” is my favorite album in the
Tulsa-kanon the soundtrack to my early days Vorspiel-killer tourbuss-blaster and it has
been the inspiration to start many a band including KVELERTAK.”
