Witchtanic Hellucinations

Prepare yourself for a psychedelic trip of doom, which holds its own special hint off horror and cheesiness. This is one trip you don’t want to be left out of.

The first thing I ever noticed about Acid Witch was the guitar work. Although the riffs were very simplistic and slow, the drop b tuned guitars gave off the dark and foreboding atmosphere of which Acid Witch are very well known for. The vocals, really helped give the songs a much darker atmosphere, with the deep, throaty growls, even though very much unchanging throughout the entire album. Acid Witch take many of the components out of doom/stoner metal, with the down tuned guitars, simple riffs, heavy fuzz, snarled vocals, and bong rips mixed in with the horror/tripped out keyboard and story boarded lyrics to take stoner metal to an all new level of heaviness.

Acid Witch’s album artwork looks as though you’ve been slipped a hit of LSD, and the witch is coming, with her bubbling cauldron of doom and demise. The album cover fits perfectly with the style of music they are playing in, with dark, yet vibrant colours. This album could draw the attention of any typical psychedelic art lover, with its trippy atmosphere. Several of the songs possess a certain level of cheesiness, such as “Witches Tits”, and “Rabid Werewitch”.

Overall, this band is one to be checked out, with its tripped out guitars, drop b tunings, growled vocals and interesting album cover, it is one not to be missed.
