Album Review... Space Witch - Arcanum

Formed in Stoke-on-Trent, England in 2007, Space Witch are a psychedelic stoner/doom band with  shades of 70's prog and heavy psychedelia.  2008 saw the release of their self-titled first demo; they then went on to gig extensively around the UK until the follow up to their demo 'Resurrection' was released in 2011.
Their critically acclaimed, self-titled, first full length (a double album) was unleashed as a joint venture with labels HeviSike Records, Fear Me Music and Orchestrated Dystopia Records in 2014; the band continued to spend time on the road, supporting well revered bands including Conan and Mars Red Sky.

The record kicks off with the epic, slow burning 'Cosmonoid'; beautifully evolving over 15 minutes, the track begins its ascent with cosmic swirling and a measured beat.  As the track hits the two thirds mark, it becomes a mammoth tornado of heavy, unforgiving guitar riffs and prog-like synth manoeuvres.  The track is led to its conclusion by the intense sounds of choral chanting.  'Astro Genocide' follows with deeper, stoner tropes; the riff is weighty and the percussion pounds ahead.  The song switches styles as poetic vocals deliver new tones before, once more, reminding you of just how heavy the band can get.  'Hex Solaris' follows, at first to the sounds of an orchestra tuning up, before returning to formidable heavy riffs and lyrics delivered by way of some sort of doom sermon (which is every bit as cool as it sounds!).  'Battle Hag' concludes the LP by way of tasty stoner vibes, sonic synths and astronomical space rock; the track itself is a showcase of just how versatile Space Witch have strived to make Arcanum sound.

It's fair to say I was sold on Arcanum on the first listen; the attention to detail within the music undoubtedly sets it apart from more recent doom/downtempo records.  Within the riffs are deep psychedelic grooves and spaced-out prog, which for me is why the record is such a satisfying, cosmic trip.  It is also deeply focused and very heavy.  I guess albums sometimes need to have definable track breaks, however the flow between the 4 tracks here makes it feel like one complete piece that should be consumed by the brain in one far out sitting.   It wouldn't be fair to label this record simply as a doom LP; Arcanum delivers something richer.  There is so much heavy psychedelic goodness here; this is something stoner and space heads will truly dig too.  Space Witch were new to me and this is unquestionably one of the best records I’ve heard this year.   I’ll be looking to see them live on the strength of this, as I’m sure playing the record at home is merely scratching the surface.

Highly recommended.

Album Review... Petyr - Petyr

Petyr are a psychedelic heavy rock band from San Diego, their self titled debut album is out now via Outer Battery Records.  For the uninitiated, the guitarist/vocalist is Riley Hawk the pro-skater and the son of fellow skater Tony Hawk.

Album opener 'Texas Igloo' throws the listener straight into the same territory as the song 'Spacegrass' by Clutch with its heavy bass riff; this is followed by fast and furious guitars, interspersed with numerous yin and yang, back and forth solo’s. Each guitarist has their own tone and attack, creating a swirling space echo sound ,before solidifying into one as the drums and vocals fuse together.

'Middle Room' is an almost acoustic instrumental that neatly segues into the next song.  Not overtly heavy, but built on a solid fuzzed out rhythm guitar tone, the album progresses into it's third track 'Stairway to Attic'; a quick paced guitar riff driven track that would make a great single release.

The atmospheric 'Satori III' follows and maybe is where this album settles down, just for a while before unleashing a true psychedelic feedback laden guitar wig out.  In the lead up to the album release, the band posted a song teaser on their website 'Old and Creepy' which can now be now heard in it's full context.  As part of the album, it’s a strong track; the bass opens, drums kick in, followed by a dissonant vocal delivery with a great guitar riff.  Possibly the standout song of the album; it's moody, it's trippy; imagine driving across the Joshua Tree reserve in your van, except you're rocking the gas pedal like it’s a cry baby wah, you need to hear this.
'Kraft' follows next with a more classic desert vibe, deep slow bass riff intro and brooding vocals; you can hear a distinct Kyuss influence, stabbing bends morph into a slow laid back melodic solo guitar outro.  'Three to Five' enters with a bombastic guitar solo, all fizz and gusto and maybe that's where the casual listener could encounter a problem with the album overall; it has a tendency to run away with itself, with self indulgent guitar solo's. I couldn't help but feel whilst listening that the core riffs and melodic content could be developed a little further, I think that could've elevated this from great to brilliant.

Overall, Petyr delivers plenty, but not being familiar with the culture, or world of skateboarding (and this album is steeped in it) it sometimes feels like the adrenaline rush drives the guitars into overkill and loses the more creative parts that would really make this debut album stand out more.

The record has been pressed on turquoise vinyl, there's also a limited run of just 300 copies on brick red wax too, thisLp is definitely worth seeking out, you can check it out now via the stream on the Bandcamp Player below.
