I'm a big fan of Maudlin of the Well (and Zorn's blurb is actually pretty accurate), but can't say much about Kayo Dot other than the samples available at www.kayodot.net sound promising. You can find MP3s of complete Maudlin tracks there, as well. Damn, and I was just in DMG yesterday -- I would have bought it then and there. Guess I know where I'm going tomorrow...

Anybody heard this one:
KAYO DOT [MAUDLIN OF THE WELL] - Choirs of the Eye (Tzadik 7092) Dark metal music on an orchestral scale, with powerful riffs, haunted vocals, violin, French horn and much more. Formerly known as Maudlin of the Well, with a dedicated gothic following, their newest recording, over a year in the making, takes them into an adventurous new world where heavy rock and classical music meet ritual. Magical and compelling music from a young band breaking new ground in the rock world.
Sounds interesting... but it could just be another Tzadik dud, so I'm getting a bit carefull...
