Our Take

Ah, the winds of doom blow strong on WITCHKISS's latest offering, "Austere Curtains Of Our Eyes." This New York-based quartet has crafted an album that is equal parts crushing and hypnotic, blending elements of sludge, doom, and stoner metal into a potent sonic concoction.

From the moment the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Amber Burns kick in on opening track "A Crippling Wind," you know you're in for a wild ride. The band's ability to seamlessly shift between delicate melodies and bone-crushing riffs is nothing short of impressive.

The album's production is top-notch, with every instrument coming through crisp and clear. The guitar work, in particular, is a standout, with intricate riffs and soaring solos taking center stage. The rhythm section provides a solid foundation, with drummer Scott Prater keeping things tight and driving the songs forward.

Tracks like "Spiritual Serpent" and "Demon in the Window" showcase the band's ability to create an atmosphere of tension and unease, drawing the listener further into their dark, brooding world. The album's closing track, "The Good Earth Is Dying," is a fittingly apocalyptic end to a truly powerful listening experience.

In conclusion, "Austere Curtains Of Our Eyes" is a mesmerising journey through the darker corners of the metal universe. WITCHKISS have delivered an album that is sure to appeal to fans of the genre, as well as anyone looking for a musical experience that is both heavy and immersive. Don't sleep on this one - it's an absolute must-listen for any self-respecting metalhead.
