JEX THOTH

Debut album from 2008 by this Wisconsin-based American band fronted by the charismatic JEX THOTH (Jessica Toth), one of the most recognizable figures of the 2000s Occult Rock and psychedelic Doom revival. Released shortly after the band's transition from TOTEM to JEX THOTH, this self-titled record delivers a captivating blend of Doom Metal, 1970s Hard Rock, dark Folk and psychedelic Rock, built around hypnotic atmospheres, rich keyboard textures and a mesmerizing vocal performance.

Rather than relying on sheer heaviness, the album focuses on mood, mysticism and immersive songwriting inspired by the legacy of BLACK SABBATH and the underground Rock movement of the 1970s. Flutes, organs, acoustic passages and psychedelic arrangements flow naturally throughout the record, creating a sound that feels both timeless and distinctive. Widely regarded as one of the key releases of the modern Occult Rock revival, "Jex Thoth" remains a highly influential and rewarding listen.
