Well, I never thought I\u2019d hear the voice of English actor, broadcaster and comedian Stephen Fry sampled for a doom \/ stoner record, but maybe this Antwerp, Belgium-based group is unaware of just how gentle a soul Mr Fry is and that his dulcet tones just don\u2019t suit such an opus.<\/p>\n

Witch Piss is another rather standard troupe which focuses on the usual Black Sabbath<\/a>-like riffs while at times leaning towards the more arduous, weed-soaked chimes, particularly with the trudging \u2018How To Travel Lighter\u2019. But as always is the case \u2013 for me anyway \u2013 my patience is often tested with albums of this nature. Does one literally have to ply themselves with hallucinogenics in order to escape the monotony?<\/p>\n

Vocally, lead man Peter Egberghs has quite the distinctive gnarly tone that does, admittedly, set him apart from a glut of other stoner metal vocalists to the point that there is an element of grunginess to proceedings, but other than that this is familiar, middle of the road rolling from another band which simply cannot resist putting the word \u201cwitch\u201d into its moniker! If I had to pick a favourite track on this debut full-length then it\u2019d have to be the rumbling \u2018Hoofprints\u2019 or the slower, grinding \u2018Children Of The Fire\u2019.<\/p>\n
