BURNING WITCH picture
Burning Witch was an American doom metal / sludge metal / drone metal band from Seattle in Washinton, active between 1995 and 1998.

Members of the band were Edgy 59 (vocals), Stephen O'Malley (guitar), George Stuart Dahlquist a.k.a. Bootsy Kronos (bass), and Jamie Sykes (drums) who was later replaced by B.R.A.D.

After the demise of the doom/death band Thorr's Hammer in 1995, bandmates O'Malley, Sykes, and Greg Anderson teamed up with Dahlquist to create Burning Witch. Anderson soon left (starting Goatsnake), and Edgy 59 was added, finalizing the lineup.

The Steve Albini-recorded, 'Towers...' LP was recorded in 1996 and released in 1998 via Slap-a-Ham records. The departure of Sykes led to his replacement by B.R.A.D. for the recording of the 'Rift. Canyon. Dreams' LP in 1997. 'R.C.D.' was released in 1998 via Merciless Records. 1998 also saw the release of 'Crippled Lucifer (Seven Psalms for Our Lord of Light), a

Fans of Sunn O))) who want to sample the work of this particular predecessor band would be well advised to pick up this collection in preference to the markedly inferior earlier version of Crippled Lucifer. You can tell the difference because the earlier version had "Seven Psalms" whilst this one has ten - in fact, with the missing tracks included, this presents more or less the entirety of the recorded output of this short-lived band.

All the songs on it sound very similar to each other - only natural, considering that all this material was recorded in the space of about a year, but this really takes it to extremes, to the point where if you started the album at some random point in the running order I would be at a loss to guess which particular song was playing. Whilst their mixture of slowed-down doom riffs and black metal shrieks is intriguing, on the whole it doesn't quite hold my interest the way the likes of drone doom predecessors such as Earth have been able to in the past.
