He
Whose Ox Is Gored is a four member band from Seattle, Washington.
While
they would generally be considered a rock band, a friend of the band coined the
term "Doomgaze", and that seems to fit the combination of heavy and
introspective. They also reminded of Torche a bit, and sludge, but there are otherworldly
elements that they introduce with synthesizers that make sludge not quite the
right fit.
Songs
border on the instrumental, with dramatic delivery. Their newest EP, with
tracks "Nightshade" and "Charming the Snake", gives a good
feel for the rest of the music. Music is available via Bandcamp, but the band
is also touring now with dates primarily in the West. Tour dates can be found

There
was also a pretty good interview at http://echoesanddust.com/2014/07/interview-brian-mclelland-of-he-whose-ox-is-gored%E2%80%8F/.
