Another big delay, but the addition of a new feature.

So I am going to review stoner metal, aka sludge metal. Here's my first one. I have not fully committed on a ratings system, yet. Perhaps x stoned hippies out of 5? I think this would be a reverse scale, where the least amount of stoned hippies would be the best. Who wants stoned hippies around?

My first album is the self-titled album by "Witch". It starts out marvelously, with the track Seer. this is an eight minute track, which sets the stage for the remainder of the album. The guitars are great, with good solos in each of the songs. Who says solos are only for thrash metal? Sure, they're not the ear splitting Dragonforce-esque solos, but musically just as appealing.

The album continues along, then hits a slow dirge in "Rip Van Winkle" (fittingly). This track sludges along, until the last 45 seconds, where it builds its pace until the end.

There's two tracks left, and I have to admit they fall off a bit. They are not bad tracks, just not as good.

Listening to this music makes me want to swill booze, and that is a good thing.

2 stoned hippies out of 5.
