"ahem. goatsnake boast a thick, tar-like guitar chord manipulation mastery, probably slower than anything ive heard in recent memory, maybe if st. vitus banged a wooly mammoth, you get the idea. they do 1 original, 1 vitus cover on here. the witch, on the other hand, shy away from the slow doom formula, in favor of an offbeat symphony of unparalled beauty and hideousness, coupled with the true sounds of wrath and desparation. if you are into feedback, subharmonics that go beyond "sound", (they actually become malevolent presences in the room) and depression, i would recommend this. an amazing record, easily the heaviest noraa over at hydrahead has ever put out. if you like this, you can find members in :SUNN0))), HOUSE OF LOW CULTURE, THE OBSESSED, WOOL, ENGINE KID, THORRS HAMMER,SINIS STAR,and hmmm....thats about it."

Two crushing worlds collide

"Truly, an education in bone crushing riffs! The first two songs are by the band goatsnake, one being an original, the second, a cover of "Burial at sea" orinally recorded by doom metal pioneers St. Vitus. The 3rd and 4th songs are by Buning Witch. If you loved Crippled Lucifer, I strongly suggest you pick this up! Not for the faint of heart, but a must have! For those who think Pantera is the most brutal and crushing band around, you ain't heard nothing yet!"
