Witch

Heavy, fuzz-drenched riffs meet restless 70s-style drumming. A modern take on the classic Sabbath blueprint that feels both ancient and urgent.

Intro

This is music that feels like it was unearthed from a time capsule buried in 1972, yet it carries a sharp, modern aggression. The sound is defined by massive, tectonic guitar riffs that prioritize groove over speed, creating a thick wall of fuzz that feels physically heavy. It is the sonic equivalent of a denim jacket that has seen too many bonfires: rugged, classic, and slightly singed around the edges.

What truly sets this apart is the rhythmic interplay. While many doom-adjacent bands settle into a sluggish crawl, there is a distinct swing here. The drumming is busy and expressive, pushing the heavy riffs forward rather than just anchoring them. The vocals sit slightly back in the mix, providing an ethereal, almost detached counterpoint to the instrumental carnage happening in the foreground.

Start with their self-titled 2006 debut. It is the purest distillation of their sound, offering a masterclass in how to pay homage to the masters of heavy rock while injecting enough raw energy to make it feel vital for a new generation of crate-diggers and riff-worshippers.
