Thulsa Doom is a Norwegian stoner rock band. It takes its name from the Robert E. Howard character. The band was formed in 1999 by guitarist Ole Petter Andreassen (also a member of The Cumshots and Black Debbath), under the stage name "El Doom". He was joined by his Black Debbath colleague, bass player Egil Hegerberg, using the name "Angelov Doom", as well as singer "Papa Doom" guitarist "Doom Perignon" and drummer "Fast Winston Doom". The band's music is somewhat similar to stoner rock legends Kyuss and early Black Sabbath. The band's debut release "She Fucks Me" was released in 2000. The five-track EP has a picture of Bill Clinton on the cover. Thulsa Doom have since released three full-length albums. One of their trademarks is very long and strange album titles. Singer Papa Doom left the band in 2003, and guitarist Doom Perignon is now the band's singer. The band's latest album "Keyboard, Oh Lord! Why Don't We?" is a bit less heavy and more melodic than the previous albums. Their cover version of Beach Boys's "Tears in the Morning" was a minor TV hit in Norway in the summer of 2005 with the outstanding video directed by Jarle Medhus.
