I feel so low right now, I’m seeing the world through the eyes of spider…the dirt is closing in around me. Maybe I should stop growing my herb in the graveyard, smoking a pound of death plays tricks on your happy thoughts. Fuck that, this how I like to feel when I’m blasting WITCH-LORD; this band is straight funeral death doom that’s rad as hell. Their album, Atomized In The Black Solarian, was just released via A389 Recordings. You know, I was thinking the other day, what kind of doom gets me down the way I want to feel, & I figured out I’m huge fan of the blackened styles so this band fits into my world just just fine. WITCH-LORD’s music is slow-creeping death filled with the joy of the underworld, & when under the influence of the sweetleaf, they sound even sicker. Let’s talk about their bass lines, ultra low in tone & speaking the evol lanuage of doom…every once in a while I can hear them say “there will be no tomorrow, the end is near.” I really dig how WITCH-LORD conjures up a cycodelic aura with their riffs, they sound very sinister. This band is in no rush to torture, they want to to kill you with a slow death. While listening to their song “Witch-Lord,” I can’t help but get these visions of ancient haunted cathedrals where even demons are too frightened to exist! WITCH-LORD’s music has the power to induce a dark trance-like state of mind were no hope can live. Deep, deep under all of their blackened distortion & brutal feedback, you can get hear this punk attitude that is the crazy glue holding this shit together. The vocalist in this band seems like he wears a mask of filth that is tied on to his skull by hate, & from this mask he gets his vocal power, which has a decaying fury about it. Atomized In The Black Solarian is a heavy album for those who like their doom groove dipped in a bucket of rotting stench…call me foul, this is how I want my gloom served!
