They Were Wrong, So We Drowned

Liars

A ritualistic concept album about witch trials. Drenched in tribal percussion, dissonant chants, and a murky, forest-dwelling atmosphere.

It sounds like a bunch of art students got lost in the woods and started a cult based on drum machines and old ghost stories.

A claustrophobic and ritualistic descent into folklore-inspired paranoia.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The relentless, hypnotic repetition of the word blood during the climax of Broken Witch.
The jarring transition into the frantic, high-pitched vocal delivery on If You’re a Wizard Then Why Do You Wear Glasses?.
The way the percussion mimics a ritualistic march on Hold Hands and It Will Happen Anyway, building into a wall of noise.
