Witchcraft
Hegyek Felettem

Witchcraft from Hungary is what we are dealing with here when looking at this bleak and grey looking album with a logo that looks like shit and titles in hungarian hardly makes the prospect any less uninteresting. And then I read in the press info that the singer is called Amalgam from the band Mystagog, a band that sucked worse than being flushed down the toilet after being shat out by some fat bloke with stomach disease. Sure I have not experienced any of the latter but Mystagog was worse than anything I can imagine, I’d rather be paralysed than hearing that album repeatedly, it is just that bad. Fortunately this is another band and album which could well be good, not that I would have bothered with it unless I had to write this review. So, what about this then, it is the third album by Witchcraft and the bandmembers have silly names, can it really be any good?

The style is primitive black metal of the old school, and it is played in a furious tempo never really slowing down and it goes for 32 minutes which is exactly eleven less than 43 minutes. The singer is a sort crowlike creature with long pointy nose and deadish grey hair and he probably smells bad as well (I am of course only guessing but he sounds like that). The production is not particularly fascinating and it is of the same kind as most in the genre and it sounds more or less like any other black metal album and there are quite few of those. Actually if you line up all those albums after one another they will add up to a line that will go thirteen rounds around the world, and considering this I think this adds up to a rather pointless album.

But it is not only pointless, it is also pure and utter rubbish. It is one album that might possibly appeal to someone who likes their music to sound like vomiting or death or even worse than that but to anyone who likes music it is a pointless exercise in how to make bad and pointless album and that isn’t really anything to waste either time and money on. So if you are considering this album I would recommend you to think again because if you don’t you will regret it for the rest of your life. This album is a truly bad album and is to be avoided by any sane person.
