To quote one of the greatest minds of all time: “FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK.”

Which great mind stated this I do not know, but it’s completely applicable to the awesome death/doom metal of Acid Witch. Let’s put it this way: when the band members’ names spell out LSD and they’re signed to Razorback Records, you just know this is going to be heavy as fuck death/doom.

And heavy this fucker is. Witchtanic Hellucinations plays out like a bizarre issue of Creepy, any of the typical EC Comics morality tales, and general mid-20th century pulp horror fiction. The album even opens up with its own horror hostess in the same vein of Uncle Creepy or the Crypt Keeper. Then Acid Witch crawls forth, like a morbid fog, ripping out some of the most vicious and psychedelic death/doom ever. The sound on here is like a bizarre meld of the first Blood Freak album, Winter, and Autopsy mixed with some serious stoner doom, and commanded over by some of the best damn low-end vocals I’ve heard.

And the production is spot on. The guitars are thick and heavy, the vocals are ethereally, and the overall music has a tremendous ambiance to it not seen in many death metal or doom metal albums out there. If there’s one thing Razorback bands can get down right, it’s death metal production. Fuck, I love this thick sound.

Needless to say, I’d totally recommend Witchtanic Hellucinations in a heart beat. It’s death/doom metal done right that can appeal to both sensible death metal fans and even those patchouli-stinking stoner metal hippies. This is a recommended buy. And really, do you want to incur the wraith that pirating this baby brings: “Unauthorized copying of this material is prohibited, if caught you will face up to 13 years of sucking cold smelly pus crusted WITCHES TITS.” Written By: Necro-tron
