**Sons of Otis** is a Canadian band deeply entrenched in the world of psychedelic and doom metal. The band was formed in 1992 in Toronto by Ken Baluke, who has been the consistent driving force throughout the band’s expansive career. Since their inception, Sons of Otis has developed a signature sound that melds the heavy, distorted riffs of doom metal with the sprawling, spacey atmosphere of psychedelic rock. Their music emphasizes mood and texture, creating a palpable sonic haze that can be felt as much as it is heard. The name 'Sons of Otis' is a nod to the legendary soul singer Otis Redding, although their music is heavily steeped in the realms of stoner and sludge metal.

Over the years, Sons of Otis have curated a robust discography, marked by a number of densely crafted albums that have earned them a devoted following within the stoner and doom metal communities. Their recent works include "Songs for Worship (Remastered)," breathing new life into a classic installment of their catalog. "Seismic," released in 2012, aptly captures the earth-shattering heaviness that the band is known for. "Exiled," which came out in 2008, explores the more expansive, space-oriented aspects of their sound. The aptly titled "X," celebrated their tenth release and demonstrated the band's unwavering commitment to their sound and style. Lastly, "Songs for Worship," originally released in 2001, stands as a hallmark in their career, exemplifying the band's penchant for crafting enveloping, psychedelic doom that transcends the ordinary listening experience. Sons of Otis continue to cement their legacy as torchbearers for the heavier, darker side of psychedelia.
