Witchsorrow have been around for quite some time now and i remember doing everything in my power to make sure that i did not miss them at Bloodstock 2010 as i needed a dose of much needed Doom in my life in what was a very Thrash filled festival. Sadly when i watched them there was something not quite right and despite getting on well with their first album it was lacking something. The husband and wife team of Necroskull and Emily Witch up front are damn good song writers and follow their Sabbath inspired roots to the letter but i have since come to realise that it is the Addition of new drummer David Wilbrahammer that really nails it for me. This was proven on the second time i saw them at Sonisphere last year where the stage and lighting were perfectly set up and the sticksman really made the band gel together perfectly.

And this has all been proved on this second album, the songwriting is even greater, the mood is fucking evil and as dark as a dark thing and the production is all the more incredible compared to the first offering. And whats better is the pace is not just stuck in first gear on every song. there are several wonderful upbeat moments that make it a real joy to listen to over and over, particularly on the track ‘Breaking the Lore’ which i have listened to so much i have nearly completely worn down my beautiful heavy weight vinyl!

And really suggest giving this album a go and if you missed them headline the recent Summer Sizzler in Brixton, make sure you get your asses to Bloodstock where once again they shall be playing the Sophie Lancaster stage on the Saturday night!
