Song of the Day: Haji's Kitchen - Nocturnus

     Today's band is one I've been very remiss in not sharing with you before now. I've known about them at least since the summer, having learned of them because I'm a bit of a Dan Tompkins fanboy (as you may already know) and prolific chap that his is, he does some vocal work on their latest album. But I've just never gotten around to picking a song for you to listen to... until now...



     Your song for today is "Nocturnus", the album opener from this year's aptly titled Twenty Twelve by Haji's Kitchen, a long-running act out of Texas that's equal parts tech and groove. Haji cooks up some tasty riffs, grooves, and some stellar instrumentation of every variety, and Dan brings his own flavour to the mix. If you're a fan of Dan's work at all, or of bands like Pantera, Lamb of God, or even Sevendust (I'm thinking of bands with tons of groove here) then give "Nocturnus" a try. You might discover that Haji happens to cook up your new favourite dish.
