The Witch are a band from France that plays progressive stoner metal and this is a review of their self released 2014 ep "Black Flower Field".
Spoken word parts start off the album before going into a more heavy and melodic metal direction along with elements of retro rock along with a small amount of blast beats and after awhile a mixture of melodic and vocals and growls and their are a great amount of thrash and stoner rock elements in the music.
On the other tracks psychedelic elements are brought in at times along with a great amount of heavy and prog sounds as well as small amount of acoustic guitars and after awhile sludge style screams become a part of the recording and on one of the tracks they bring in horror movie samples before going into a heavy and progressive doom/death thrash metal direction and at time s the bass guitars sound very powerful.
The Witch have their very own sound on this ep and while they are labeled as a progressive stoner metal band and you can still hear a good amount of thrash and death metal in the music along with a great amount of melody, the production is very professional sounding and the lyrics cover occultism, darkness and stoner themes.
In my opinion The Witch are a very great sounding progressive stoner metal b and and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Skeleton Skull" and "From Here To Underground". 8 out of 10.
