Witch Biography
Witch utilize classic rock structures and murky -- but heavy -- atmospherics to achieve the kind of doom metal fanfare that plays to both fans of Black Sabbath and Mastodon. Longtime friends J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. and Dave Sweetapple had always wanted a "real" hard rock band, so they asked Asa Irons and Kyle Thomas, both members of New England avant folk collective Feathers, to join in on the racket. The resulting eponymous debut dropped in March of 2006 on Tee Pee Records. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
