Witching Chronicles: Exploring The Void King’s The Hidden Hymnal – Chapter II
Void King are ten years deep and still haven’t bothered to sand off a single splinter. Thank fuck. With Chapter II, they’re just slamming it through a different chunk of space rock, carving slow-burning sermons into the walls of whatever celestial ruin they’re holed up in. It’s a kind of relic. Feels less like a […]
Witching Chronicles: Exploring The Miss Lava’s Under A Black Sun
This record drags you by the teeth. Miss Lava hit 20 years and didn’t stop to throw a party. They lit the fucking cake on fire and shoved it through a Marshall stack. Under A Black Sun is heavy like end-times prophecy and thick with that fuzzed-out, doom-psych lava roll that makes your speakers sound […]
Witching Chronicles: Exploring The HÅNDGEMENG’s Satanic Panic Attack
Let’s get one thing straight: Satanic Panic Attack isn’t trying to impress you. It doesn’t care about your playlists or your genre tags. This thing came howling out of the Norwegian wastelands like a grease-soaked demon on a chopper, middle finger raised, speakers blazing, and no goddamn brakes. HÅNDGEMENG aren’t here to reinvent the wheel […]
Witching Riffs: Behind the Sound of Sonic Wolves
Introduction: Due to time constraints as regular individuals running Witching Buzz and focusing primarily on writing reviews, we are limited to publishing only one (occasionally two) review(s) per day. However, we strongly believe in providing greater exposure to deserving bands and musicians who have put in immense effort. As a result, we have launched a new section called “Witching […]
Witching Chronicles: Exploring The Smoke Mountain’s The Rider
There’s a certain kind of doom album that doesn’t just sound heavy – it feels both heavy and raw at the same time. Not just in the low-end rumble of the riffs or the sheer weight of distortion, but in its atmosphere, the way it pulls you under like slow-moving tar. The Rider is that […]
Witching Chronicles: Exploring The Amammoth’s Distant Skies and the Ocean Flies
Amammoth’s path has never been about playing it safe, and with Distant Skies and The Ocean Flies, they’re not holding back. From the first demo, Inhale, to their debut The Fire Above, this band’s been working on something heavy, slow, and dirty. And they’ve nailed it again with their second full-length. This is a band […]
Witching Chronicles: Exploring The GREENLEAF’s Revolution Rock Deluxe
For over 25 years, Greenleaf has been one of the real ones. What started as a loose jam between friends turned into a full-blown force of heavy rock, keeping the spirit of ‘70s riff-driven music alive without feeling like a throwback act. Now, Revolution Rock Deluxe takes us back to the raw, early days – […]
Witching Chronicles: Exploring The PLASMAJET’s Solastalgia
PLASMAJET’s “Solastalgia” firmly stakes its claim in the stoner metal realm – an audacious record that wears its influences on its sleeve while refusing to be pigeonholed. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill metal album; it’s a raw, unvarnished exploration of heavy, fuzz-drenched grooves and off-kilter rhythms. Recorded during the harsh winter of 2023/2024, the album encapsulates […]
Witching Chronicles: Exploring The Bronco’s Bronco
Sludge metal has always been a genre of scars – riffs forged in hardship, tempos sinking under the weight of their own despair, and an unfiltered honesty that leaves no room for pretense. Bronco’s self-titled debut embodies this ethos with a sound that is as gnarled and unrelenting as the North Carolina earth from which […]
Witching Chronicles: Exploring The Ocultum’s Buena muerte
There’s an unspoken expectation when dropping the needle on an OCULTUM record. You brace yourself. You prepare for the sheer weight of it. Their past two albums, Ceremonia Oculta Primitiva and Residue, established the Chilean trio as a crushing force in the underground doom/stoner/sludge scene. With Buena Muerte, they don’t just reaffirm that status – […]
