Accolades for Self Titled
Names like Scott �Wino� Weinrich, Lemmy, Quorthon (R.I.P.), etc... These kind of musicians who just seem to ooze the heavy rock and doom genre from every pore in their bodies. Well, another who sure as hell fits that bill has gotta be Ari Honkonen. Here�s a guy who took the band Morningstar and raised them, album after album from a so-so black metal outfit to something that can stand head-to-head with Manilla Road, Cirith Ungol and more of the very best. A funny thing about Ari is, he�s not satisfied with just having done that, a daunting task in anybody�s book. No, he also decided to put together a few other bands, one of them being Minotauri, with which he intended to celebrate his love for things more doom-inflected. Minotauri's CD is dedicated to bands like Pentagram, Witchfinder General, Pagan Altar and Sarcofagus! For anyone who loves their music dark and crammed with a concrete-thick, SG-thru-a-wall-of-Marshalls-crush, this is your bus stop, baby.
