UK Sludge worshippers IRON WITCH are about to release their newest instrument of sonic torture: a 7” EP that bears the name Post Vegas Blues. And just like the title promises, this EP is a musical embodiment of headache, booze, drugs, spavined strippers, lost memories and hot, humid nights. Like IRON WITCH’s previous efforts, Post Vegas Blues wallows itself in viscous, bluesy riffs, which could very well be found on some lost Eyehategod demo tapes, brought to you in a ridiculously dirty and gross sound that throws more middle fingers towards polished high-end productions than a whole army of fuck you could possibly have.
Chris’ vocals spread hate and nihilism in the roughest manner and remind me more often than not of Iron Monkey’s Johnny Morrow – who probably had the sickest voice ever. The sludgy dirge of Post Vegas Blues is often interrupted by filthy uptempo parts that’d make Discharge seem like a bunch of Pop-Punks and IRON WITCH incorporate those fast moments very wisely: The inevitably break-down that’s about to come sooner or later is all the more bloody effective.
IRON WITCH has the potential to bring together the whole lot of Metalheads, Crusties and Hardcore Kids to bang their heads, get drunk and start bar fights. If you have the chance, be one of them!
