Enchanted Paris Doom Trio WITCHORIOUS Premieres Astounding Full-Length

~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~

By Billy Goate

This debut LP by WITCHORIOUS is without doubt one of the finest doom metal offerings the year has given us. Antoine Auclair (guitar/vocals), Lucie Gaget (bass/vocals), and Paul Gaget (drums) have assembled a thoughtful collection of 10 tracks that draw upon the themes of classic horror and traditional doom metal, with prolific drumming, sinister guitar, and surreal atmosphere.

We begin with the ominous "Monster," which is surely the musical equivalent to a brooding stormfront. Each instrument brings its unique powers to the whole, generating a menacing sound that got me slow headbanging immediately. Vocals have the same Medieval gruff as classic Morgoth, full of prophetic dread.

The roars of "Catharsis" approach Domkraft levels of fierceness. With male and female vocals in the chorus, the effect is mesmerizing. The track following this is deeply atmospheric, with its fuzz-filled intro and repeated arpeggios forming a thick haze that bedazzles the listener into a strange, trancelike state. Appropriate considering this is "The Witch."

"Blood" is deliriously good. Again the riffs are on point! You'd have to go back to BelzebonG's Sonic Scapes & Weedy Grooves to find riffs this pure. The beat never lets up; it's a steady driver all the way through, keeping the narrative moving forward. Verses feature another lusty vocal performance and the chorus has tons of heart. I was happy there was room for a guitar solo.

"Eternal Night" has an unsettling vibe akin to the band Demon Lung. When the solo erupts towards the end, it sounds like something between a siren and a sax, but it could be a guitar effect or synthesizer. Whatever it is, it's effective in bringing a chilling climax to the moment.

Once again, it's the vocals that make a song like "Sanctuaire" so convincing -- and this is to say nothing of the incredible drumming, subtle basswork, and atmospheric guitar play. Even the sequence of "heys" at 4:31 were dripping with the angst of instability, making me think of Kurt Cobain and Mark Arm.

After a brief interlude ("Amnesia") we're ushered into the album's final three songs. The vocal attack on "Watch Me Die" is just savage, utterly convincing, and the doomy guitar chords match the mood. "To The Grave" is chill by contrast, with acoustic strumming that allow Antoine and Lucy to vary their vocal delivery and range, as they're not competing with loud instruments.

Finally, comes "Why" (the longest track after "Sanctuaire" at 7:20). This one has a grooving bassline, bittersweet riffmaking, slappin' drums, and clear, sincere singing with a certain Ozzyesque mystique. The guitar solo is soulful and grungy with plenty of stoner sway.

Witchorious drops Friday, February 16th on vinyl, CD, and digital via Argonauta Records (get it here). Don't pass this one by! Stick it on a playlist with Amen-Ra, Beastmaker, Lord Vicar, Famyne, and Purple Hill Witch.

Give ear...

SOME BUZZ

Witchorious is a doom metal band from Paris, France. Founded in 2019, the trio is composed of Antoine Auclair (guitar/vocals), and brother and sister Paul (drums) and Lucie (bass/vocals) Gaget. Their first two singles “3 AM” and “Evil Creature” came out of darkness in 2020.

Their music blends bluesy riffs inherited from Black Sabbath, aggressive sounds supported by fuzzy bass lines in the likes of Electric Wizard, and intense atmospheres inspired by bands like Amenra and Mastodon. All this led by adventurous and solid drums, spawning modern chaotic doom metal songs with enraged vocals. Between screams and whispers, Antoine and Lucie’s voices have us travel from incantations to outpouring of despair. Each track will immerse you in the darkness of your mind, where you will keep looking for answers.

Dying to meet their audience, Witchorious played more and more gigs and opened for The Wytches in Paris and Westill Fest in November 2023. Witchorious’s debut album will be released in February 2024 through Italian label Argonauta Records. The album was recorded in Paris at Studio Sainte-Marthe by Francis Caste and contains 10 tracks that address psychic duality, human vice, and the inevitable fate of the world along with hellish fuzzy riffs.

Says the band:

"Initially, after the release of our double single, we were thinking of releasing a first 5-track EP. However, the health crisis dragged on and writing, like most bands, became our main activity. The writing of the album took around two years, with numerous arrangements on the tracks. The initiative for a track usually comes from a guitar riff and the vocals, and then we get together and each of us adds its own touch. We transform the song, the rhythm, its structure, until it sounds ‘Witchorious’. We wanted to create more modern sound and structures to avoid doing doom that we’ve all heard before.

"In the lyrics, we express our frustrations and self-awareness. The album deals with mental conflicts and psychological distress, the influence of human beings on their environment and on others... We were also keen to develop the character of the witch, who for us is a figure that represents oppressed minorities, whatever they may be. The witch frightens, disturbs and revolts, but at the same time fascinates and survives through the ages. We’ve had a lot of fun with the clichés of the genre, particularly around everything religious and satanic, because it creates an occult atmosphere that we love.

"This album is a concentration of our influences, a first step towards showing who we are, what our sound identity is, and what we have to say. By the time the album was recorded, the songs had really matured, and we fully focused on sound and ambiance. Francis helped us emphasize the evil aspect of the compositions, to make the whole thing sound really haunted."

Moonin Down - Il terzo pianeta

Il cambio del nome per un gruppo è sempre una scelta difficile, da ponderare bene, perché in qualche modo cancella tutto quello che c’è stato prima e ti fa ricominciare da zero.

MUD SPENCER - Kliwon (2023)

Psychedelic instrumental rock epics from West Java, Indonesia

James looks at Kliwon, the new album from West Java, Indonesia based instrumental psychedelic artist Mud Spencer, released on Argonauta Records on May 26th.

The album is a masterclass in how to create spacey, transcendent instrumental psychedelic rock. Honestly there are tracks on this album that will transport you to a different plane of consciousness with their stunning texturing and immersive beauty. The approach taken toward psychedelic music really shows an understanding of the genre and a love for creating it. If you enjoy mind altering music or are looking for something to space out to, I cannot recommend this album enough.

DEMANDE À LA POUSSIÈRE – Kintsugi

"Le Kintsugi, l’art du beau dans l’imperfection, sublimer les blessures et renaître de ses cendres. Nous sommes imparfaits, nous avons fauté, nous avons failli, mais nous avançons en pétrissant la matière noire de notre être pour affronter un futur que nous devons embrasser - ou accepter notre sort et périr." Dixit Demande à la Poussière

Créé en 2017 par des membres de The Great Old Ones, Spectrale, Omrade et Würm, sort un premier album éponyme via Argonauta Records en 2018, enchaine avec « Quiétude Hostile » en 2021 via My Kingdom Music. Simon Perrin (Chant, Guitare) le nouveau chanteur vient poindre la corrosion de Vincent Baglin (Batterie), Neil Leveugle (Basse) et d’Edgard Chevallier (Guitare, Arrangements) pour ce 3ème album enregistré au Lower Tones Place Studio (Nature Morte, Ecr.linf, Korsakov, etc.).

Le kintsugi (金継ぎ, « jointure en or ») est une méthode japonaise de réparation des porcelaines ou céramiques brisées au moyen de laque saupoudrée de poudre d'or. Ici métaphore de la reconstruction de soi.

Dans une langue qui châtie la soude et le fer dans des pensées au fouet intense, la musique suit la corde raide en 11 titres pour 51 min 34. L’album ne se dérobe pas, n’enjambe rien, il va frotter les cicatrices pour saigner et rouvrir les plaies, guérir c’est aller dans ses ténèbres où le Blackened Sludge de DALP contamine chaque pulsion, pensée, d’une masse musicale protéiforme qui attaque, consume, érode, ronge, en une soif de désespoir, colère, amertume avec laquelle la violence est unanime. Sortir du cadre pour sortir de soi ce pue sanguinolent à la recherche d’une vérité tant musicale que puissante pour trouver la force de se relever.

À l’intérieur, notre autre côté, l’intime, le lieu le plus proche de l’âme, ce que l’on garde dans le noir, dans le silence mais qui plus que tout fait un bruit très fort. Savoir entrer à l'intérieur est un art et se sentir à l'intérieur est inimaginable. C’est la clé d’une seule serrure, la bonne.

« Le chemin vers le paradis commence en enfer. » selon Dante Alighieri ‘’ la Divine Comédie,’’ Demande à la Poussière a gravé son diamant dans l’or pur de sa fureur sonique.

Madrid’s GREENGOAT Confronts Post-Apocalyptic World in New Vid “Human”

~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~

By Billy Goate

Hailing from Madrid, Spain, this is GREENGOAT, a stoner metal two-piece featuring guitarist/singer Ivan Flores and drummer Ruth "Kalypso" Moya. The duo has been plugging away since mid-pandemic and just weeks ago released their debut LP, 'A.I.' (2024), which contemplates the life of an artificial being living in a post-apocalyptic world.

Drawing upon influences ranging from Clutch to Black Sabbath to Pink Floyd, the band unfolds a tapestry of evocative landscapes, with robust and adventurous rhythmic tendencies, earthy vocals, and searing, soulful guitar passages on the order of Alice in Chains and Prong.

Today, we get to peer deeper into the lore of A.I. with the music video for "Human." Reached for comment, the band shared this:

Tribe! We want to sincerely thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the warm reception you have given to our album A.I. Not in our wildest dreams could we have imagined that it would resonate with so many of you. That's why we want to share this video of the single "Human," a video made with a lot of love. We hope you enjoy it, and again, thank you for connecting with us.

Greengoat's A.I. is out now on Argonauta Records (get it here).

Non si vive di soli rinoceronti, soprattutto in un mondo come il nostro che va a scatafascio! Così i catanesi Rhino, tra un granello di sabbia lavica e l’altro, hanno sputato fuori, non solo riff grassi, ma anche riflessioni e considerazioni sul mondo d’oggi. Il tutto è andato, poi, a finire nel nuovo album, “Human Farm” (Argonauta Records / Grand Sound Promotion). Ciao Red Frank, da qualche…
