Occult Vibe Haven (OVH)
You ever wake up with your teeth humming from feedback? That’s where this album lives. III doesn’t give you songs, it gives you weight. Not the sort of weight that bands in leather jackets try to conjure in overpriced studios. I’m talking about the tectonic, low-slung, slow-crawling kind—born from the pit, not the playlist. THAMMUZ […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Some bands emerge from the underground with a sound so heavy, so unrelenting, that it feels less like music and more like a force of nature. IRONRAT’s Beneath It All is one of those records. Rooted in the low-and-slow devastation of doom but laced with the grime and sneer of sludge, this long-awaited second full-length […]
With End of Time, their third full-length offering, the Eindhoven trio doesn’t merely refine their sound – they expand it into a sprawling, immersive experience. The addition of drummer Jarno van Osch proves to be a defining shift, injecting fresh momentum into the band’s already formidable foundation. The result is an album that feels both […]
I’m going to be short today! Causes doesn’t give you what you expect right away. From the start, you can tell HAVEN isn’t in a hurry. The music drifts, moves at its own pace, and sometimes leaves you hanging before anything heavy hits. When it does, it doesn’t feel rushed – it’s like the moment […]
Right off the bat, The Humble Collapse grabs your attention. It’s not a flashy album, nor does it try to be. Instead, it settles into a groove that feels lived-in, like a well-worn leather jacket. This is modern stoner rock at its most deliberate – heavy, textured, and unapologetically introspective. The album’s heart lies in […]
We, Main Witch and Spellbinder, are thrilled to share with you our Top 25 Albums of 2024 (from our humble perspective). Of course, there are many other albums that deserve a spot on this list, but we decided to keep it concise. It’s important to note that the order of the list doesn’t imply ranking […]
Stoner rock is all about immersing yourself in sound – letting riffs wash over you, like waves of distortion-driven hypnosis. Big Muff Brigade’s debut album, Ď€, doesn’t just play by the genre’s rules; it leans into them with unrelenting energy and just enough flair to make it their own. This is the sound of a […]
