Here’s a band to check out if you like your music on the noisy/sludgy/drony side — and I know some of you do.

Queen Elephantine has a new album called “Kailash,” named for the famed mountain of Buddhist and Hindu lore. You can hear it in entirety on their MySpace page — just select the second player (not the top one, though that one’s good if you want to hear older tracks).

So is QE Buddhist or Hindu? Can’t say, but they certainly seem interested. With song titles like “Search for the Deathless State” and previous releases called “Surya” and “Yatra,” they at least have a sympathy. Whatever their deal — if you like this kind of music, you’ll like them.

Also: good ol’ Konchog Norbu reminded me to give the band Hayagriva a mention. Named for the horse-headed deity found (again) in both Buddhism and Hinduism, they have a totally different thing going on — kinda theatrical black metal.

If that sounds like your kinda thing, you can hear it here.
