Witchapter are a band from the United Kingdom that plays a mixture of sludge and doom metal and this is a review of their 2017 ep "Spellcaster" which will be released in April by Black Bow Records.
A very distorted sound starts off the ep along with some heavy and melodic riffing a few seconds later and a few seconds later high pitched sludge style screams are added onto the recording and the riffs bring in a great amount of doom metal elements and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them.
Death metal growls are also utilized at times and when clean guitars are utilized they give the music more of a 70's influence while the heaviness takes the songs into a more modern direction and when guitar leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic fashion and all of the songs stick to a slow musical direction and the last track is very long and epic in length.
Witchapter plays a musical style that mixes sludge and doom metal together along with a touch of death metal to create a sound of their own, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism and Witchcraft from the medieval era.
In my opinion Witchapter are a very great sounding mixture of sludge and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Veiled Aggressor". 8 out of 10.
