Drew Thomson The twinned male/female vocals work really well across interweaving guitars. Some of the hooks make me think of Down (but in a good way). Favorite track: A Watching of Wolves.

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Awesome album from one of the UK's finest doom/occult bands currently working the circuit. Vocals are a superb mix between the haunting female lead and growled male response/answer. The music is heavy but not crushing and compliments the vocals excellently. Great band, great album.

Suffer Look accross, shell of the witch I was The curse beaten down Rape my pride, Lacerate my eyes Blind hatred heats incestuous misandry Lord we're sinking in misery Come in come on, the knife's in bed Love and leave you to drain Maim your bride, torn out eyes Blind hatred and incestuous misandry Lord im dying sweet misery Stone heart bitch, I see in you Fucked up witch, All the things that feed this life of decay Corrosion, I'll ride in mayhem Wasted I’m climbing the walls Just to get away from you I’m going outta my mind The vision of my hands they throttle you It’s all I want, It’s all I need It’s what I crave, seeing you suffer Soul sucker Suffocating with hate Just wanna slit your throat while you sleep Going outta my mind It’s time to scratch the wounds that make you bleed It’s all I want, It’s all I need It’s what I crave, seeing you suffer Sweet blood moon rise Sweet blood hell yeah To watch your heart die Like the weight of the world on your shoulders Goes around, goes around, goes around Feel the weight of the world on your shoulders It’s up to you to set it free You'll find death by inertia ain't mine I wont be lost in the ashes of time Let out the phoenix to fly I’ll ride and ride and I’ll ride Like the weight of the world on your shoulders Goes around, goes around, goes around Death dawn be free Feel the weight of the world on your shoulders Walk, walk now bleed It’s up to you to set it free Death dawn be free Walk, walk now breath Death dawn be free Walk, walk free

A test for disciples be reborn Meet the serpents charm Unlock the viv, I am the wolf In pain she cries Heave the thorn from my side To meet his rising Father of the slain I die beneath you Plagued by the wolf that knows no end Spins threads of life again Toward nothing and never she is bound Behold a hooded man Wild hunt release the hounds Horned angels sound fate He awaits I die beneath you I die beneath you I die beneath you I die beneath you Won’t try to meet you I die beneath you I die beneath you And as I wonder through land of cold and ice For Nostrond, in caress of marble smile Guided by my spirits inward sight I’m gone astray, bathed in Luna's light The light, her eye Watched by eagle and night Repentent ways moan into.. The night, she dies, we hide From foe and fiend and friend and thief Gathering corpses, lost souls of grief Tides of trust, honour, lust, slandering whore Ripped from greed The night, she dies, we hide From foe and fiend and friend and thief Gathering corpses, lost souls of grief Tides of trust, honour, lust, slandering whore Ripped from greed Now I’ve fallen through ice and stormy skies Far is the world and the church no longer mine She’s on the road to hell Creatures cast their spell She dies beneath you I lie beneath you I die beneath you I lie beneath you I die beneath you

I will drink myself to death, because of you I'll drink myself to death, because of you You bring me darkness, no light shines upon You bring me darkness, no life I will drink myself to death, because of you I'll drink myself to death, because of you A shamefull virus, seeps through the walls You bring malignance, no life I will drink myself to death, because of you I'll drink myself to death, because of you A hollow sickness, rises and falls With every vengance I rise I rise, I fall Blackened days for the lost along the way Rise and fall, I'll take a beggars life once once more Back and forth, the cycle goes forever.. more? One last time, my life was yours and yours was mine Heavy haze, getting lost in the ancient ways Bleed my pride, be the angel in my eyes Be the angel in my eyes Fade to black, those days are lost no taking back Annointed one, those priests they lie they got it wrong Satans child, this witch was sent to satisfy Be my prize, be the angel in my eyes Be the angel in my eyes

We live in evil light Waiting for the bodies to burn We follow evil minds And we’re waiting for the bodies to burn We bore the evil child, a knife in her cradle Now the child, is she ready to burn Morbid shadows hanging over me In darkness who am I to be Trapped inside this enemy of light My soul is waning out of sight Can you see me Black shadows fall Sinful angel watching over me She drains my life blood torture me Standing on this bridge of no return These wretched thoughts will never burn Can you heal me Black shadows fall Stare into the sun Darkness comes undone Stare into the sun Ascension has begun Come from the darknest years and the sorrows of before When we were praying, praying for the child The child who'd fallen, fallen from grace Cradled away, away, I I had a child, a child fallen, Fallen then was silenced Soar angels away to find her where it’s silent Stare into the sun Darkness comes undone Stare into the sun Ascension has begun

about

This is Witch Charmers highly anticipated debut album which will take you on a satirical journey to enlightenment.

"The Great Depression is an outstanding album on all levels. Witch Charmer may have the potential to be one of the UK’s leading Occult Rock/Doom/Stoner Metal bands." - The Sludgelord

"‘The Great Depression’ is a thoroughly worthy addition to the library of any fan of stoner doom, with strong hints of the era of psychedelic rock running through the album." - Ave Noctum (8/10)

"Imagine a cross between Jex Toth, Acid King and Alabama Thunderpussy and you’ll begin to grasp the bounds of Witch Charmer’s sound." - The Metal Observer (8/10)

"The riffs are typically huge and captivating; 70’s blues rock riffs made heavy and dirty so that they sound more contemporary than most...
Each song on this release is a hugely enjoyable exemplar of the style and definitely something you should check out if you have even a passing interest in this genre." - WonderBoxMetal
