in this age of moronic talking head shit shows, i've decided its time to start remembering whats real
rock and roll is real, so lets get on with it
i stumbled upon these guys on bandcamp, just randomly looking under the desert rock hashtag.
first we'll start with the critical stuff, the name is cringe, and this is coming from a guy who used to play in a band with a terrible name, a couple bands with awful names tbh. but beyond the need to project less of a 'tough guy' metal bs persona, this ep kicks ass.
if you're into mars red sky, or maybe some of the more melodic electric wizard, this record is for you.
the tracks have the right guitar tones, the right chord progressions and frankly the composure overall is quite good. its typically the lyrical quality or some thing that ruins the sauce but wicca certainly have done a fantastic job musically. again the only criticism i have is the projection or my perception of their projection and it comes off as a bit try hard. like i said, having been there i get it, but that also wears off after a few years so maybe they'll come around. the best thing about rock and roll is that its not serious, it never has been and it needs to be fun. so if you think black metal dudes sleep in their bullet belts, well you may be correct because they're lunatics, but most rocker dudes go to work and have normal lives, and that's what rock and roll is, its the regular guy's music.
so enjoy some regular guy music with this varitable regiment of steam rollers pounding sweet melodic drone and riffage into your side head holes.
