Using the Internet Wayback Machine, I was able to cull a
few of my old reviews on the old Ominous Vomit site for use here! Enjoy.
2010 Hells Headbangers
9/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
Fuck,
I love this band. I've never been a huge doom freak, but this band has
pulled off such a totally original sound, and I am so impressed by their
continuing progression within the boundaries of that sound, that I must scream
their praises from the lowest pits of hell to the front doors of the house of
Nazareth. Acid Witch have blended classic-sounding horror music with
heavy doom death, and it's a truly captivating mix. Their obsession with
horror fuels the imagery, and the vocals are straight out of the bubbling
cauldron from whence their songs come. They've taken the style
established on their debut record on Razorback to new heights, and they've
found a new home, and an appropriate one at that, with Hells Headbangers.
The closest approximation of their sound I think would be if Black Sabbath had
been born and bred on death metal and did nothing but watch 70s and 80s horror
films. I can't say much more than just do yourselves a fucking favor and
buy this! True cult death for the true fans. This is a band who
will never grow dull, and I appreciate every note they play. The organ
playing during the songs is totally awesome, and it sets them apart. More
please! This will be in my top five for the year, easily.
