Description
The second studio album by the doom kings from Hamburg!
“Excellent creepy rock! Musically, we are in about 1970, and the rock music becomes rock music becomes somehow heavy & driving and above all dark and eerie. Mountain Witch on their second record once again dedicate themselves to this sound that Black Sabbath and others and others have called into the world, and with their vintage equipment mania they come so close that that it is impossible to believe that this is a new record. I find it pleasing that there is more singing here than on their debut “Cold River”, which suits the songs perfectly.
The absolute masterpiece is the seven-minute-long “At The Mountains of Madness”, which builds up slowly and It builds up slowly and has a very unique feel to it, when, shortly before the end, this psychedelic part rows out relatively far by Berghexen standards. by mountain witch standards. Well done! So if you like old stuff like Witchfinder General, Legend, Manilla Road, epic 70ies protometal or newer stuff like Demon Head, Kadavar or of course the first Mountain Witch record, you should definitely check it out, there has been a development in songwriting has taken place that I did not foresee. Isle of Bones” becomes so melancholic, almost icy, that it’s a perfect, hypnotic bouncer that just makes you just makes you turn the record over again!
