Occult Vibe Haven (OVH)
Some records shake the walls. This one is the walls—closing in, humming, breathing heavy. Folwark’s All Shadows Stretched isn’t something you listen to. It’s something you fall into, teeth clenched. Tracked in an abandoned mine and sounding like it was possessed there, the whole thing exhales mineral dust and dread. It doesn’t play – it […]
Some bands sound like they’ve got something to sell. GREY CZAR sound like they’ve got something to get off their chest before the walls come down. Euarthropodia, their newest full-length out of the Austrian underground, is the kind of record that doesn’t beg you to listen. It just starts, and if you’re not ready for […]
There’s a certain energy that only comes from a band that’s been through the wringer – lineup shifts, lost time, the whole cycle of breaking apart and clawing their way back. Aegony sounds like a record born from that struggle. It’s unfiltered, urgent, and absolutely refuses to play by modern production’s rules. No artificial shine, […]
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 […]
In an era where musical innovation often feels like a race to the next fleeting trend, Blu Mamuth’s debut album Ka Ora! stands as a defiant testament to the power of fearless experimentation. Released on February 21 via Octopus Rising and Argonauta Records, this Italian duo – comprised of V. and Z., erstwhile architects of […]
Plasticdrop’s Life, Death, and Miracles is one of those albums that feels bigger the more you listen to it. At first, it might just sound like a solid heavy rock record—lots of crunching guitars, pounding drums, and raw energy. But once you spend some time with it, you start to notice all these little moments […]
Eye of the Golem’s latest album, Nigredo, hits hard in all the right places, delivering a deeply atmospheric and weighty post-metal experience. It’s a slow burn, but that’s what makes it work so well. The band has taken their heavy, sludgy riffs and combined them with more experimental touches – industrial, psychedelic, and some seriously […]
When you put on VAST PYRE’s debut album, you’re in for a memorable ride through some seriously heavy, dark music. This is Stoner Doom at its core – big, slow riffs that just roll over you, pulling you into this almost hypnotic state. If you’re into bands like Electric Wizard, Black Sabbath, or Sleep, you’ll […]
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 […]
DISLIMN’s debut EP “Esmee” is a bold entry into the world of prog heavy rock and doom, with an added twist of Scandinavian melodies. Formed in 2022 by Alix, Basile, and Florent, this trio has managed to craft a sound that is both powerful and nuanced, offering a rich listening experience that stands out in […]
