Witch – Witch
Have 9 Dinosaur Jr. albums not been enough for you? Ever find yourself craving more of the earth-shattering riffery coming from J. Mascis? Ever wanted to hear a heavier, louder version of Dinosaur Jr.? Well, here is your answer: Witch. With J. Mascis on drums and members of folk group Feathers filling out other positions, Witch plays a brand of stoner metal filled with face-melting riffs, loud-as-hell tunes and a strong Black Sabbath influence. Not a metal fan? Don’t worry, this isn’t a metal album for your mallgoth friends, it’s a metal album for people who don’t generally like metal, for people who love ripping guitars and for people who, like myself, love J. Mascis. Released by Tee Pee Records in 2006, this is definite must, regardless of your stance on metal. Remember, I wouldn’t be posting this if it weren’t great!
*Also: sorry for the lack of updates, I’ve been super busy lately plus everything I’ve been listening to has either been blogged here or just about everywhere else on the internet. No worries though, I have 3 more albums ready to share, they should be up by tomorrow.
