MUSIC REVIEW - Nuclear Witch

Artist/Title: Nuclear Witch
Label: LURK SLEEP KILL
Recorded in Racine, WI
c15

An Iboga intervention on the cold, thick concrete floor of a tool and die factory. A shell-shocked hallucination through the eyes of a feverish street-psychic. Uber-compressed blast beats throb to the heavy pulse of purist goat metal while swirling shrieks of a banshee torture victim are heavily manipulated by slap-back delay. A complex nightmare and a powerful migraine. The rare moments in which I was slightly removed from the horrific aesthetics were due to the sampling of Anneliese Michel’s exorcism. 



Harsh and atmospheric tracks like “Bitch From Hell” and “Basement Attack” left me feeling completely vulnerable and bewildered. Highly recommended for fans of extreme metal and terror music.
