ACID
WITCH
'Witchtanic
Hellucinations'
(Hells
Headbangers)
I
am not sure if this just fell out of print from the excellent label
Razorback Records or what? But the album goes from strength to
strength and sees a re-release now through the almighty Hells
Headbangers Records. It did not take me long to find out why this
album is highly sought after by such quality labels. Acid
Witch
play a very cool and unique brand of death doom metal. The base riffs
are slow motion bulldozers ripping up the ground like it is weak
flesh from bone, so heavy, added to that are these crazy spaced out
guitar leads all backed with out of this world sound effects. The
vocals are really deep, slow but intelligible growls that give me a
classic feel; you do not hear that many newer bands doing cool vocals
like this anymore. This album sort of makes me think if you took the
first My
Dying Bride
album, sent those bands members out to space and got them hopped up
on LSD the resulting album would be 'Witchtanic...'
ha-ha.
About the only bad thing I could possibly say and it is a minor
complaint, would be some of the keyboard / organ and sound effects
are kind of piercing and a tad high in the mix at times. But really
it is a petty little complaint as this is an amazing death doom
album. I dig it a lot, for me it actually blows away their follow up
sophomore album.
