Witchapter - Spellcaster EP (2017)
Dark, brutal, and (slightly melodic) black metal coming out of Childer Thornton, UK, with this three-song EP you should check out if you’re still mourning the loss Lord Mantis. Starting with a bit of a groove riff, the first track, “Veiled Aggressor”, brings the thunder. First kick of the vocals and these guys are really scratching that Lord Mantis itch with heavy low-end and those slightly distorted/reverb’d vocals. This stuff is awesome. Super heavy breakdown around the three-minute mark with double-tracked guitar that starts to slow and slow until you can feel the gears grinding to a halt. This is one of my blackest and favorite tracks of the year.
Second track “Through Smoke and Sulphur” starts clean, almost with a Sabbath or Pentagram type of vibe. One stomp of the box and the roof is blown off this track, into slow sludge with a slightly '90s vibe to it, the low end on this thing is nuts. Ending with the final track, “Everywhere I Look I See My Grave”, Witchapter continues the sludge saunter accentuated with a huge crash 1-2 and a Weekend Nachos style de-tune. Guitars fade and a bass groove begins and the whole thing boils back up again as Witchapter walk off with an awesome three-song EP. Fans of Thou, look this up.
