Sons Of Otis are a Stoner Doom Metal band, hailing from Toronto, Canada. They formed in 1992 as Otis, which they took from a character in the movie Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer. After their debut EP called Paid To Suffer in 1994, they changed their name to Sons Of Otis. They were signed to The Music Cartel, which ceased its activities in 2005. They are known for their trance-like neuron-firing live performances which included spinning lights and smoke machines.
After a lengthy hiatus in April 2007, Sons of Otis released a split with Queen Elephantine on Concrete Lo-Fi Records.
After a long hold-up, their new album “Exiled” saw light in February 2009 via Small Stone Recordings. It features the two songs previously released on the Queen Elephantine Split, as well as four brand new tracks, and continues the tradition of their “Heavy psychedelic doom blues” (quote from the band’s MySpace site).

Yes be sure of that. I can tell you I have seen alot stoner/doom bands live but sons of otis where so amazing you can't imagine. It was like a hammer of sound pounding in your brains and I was dancing some kind of strange doom dance in a green air with a big smile on my face. And they kept going... destroying my brains.. Thx sons of otis for making that day so amazing and for making good music almost 20 years.
