Wytchcraft
Adopting the Y spelling to differentiate themselves from
several similarly-titled bands
(including the excellent Swedish band
Witchcraft),
Germany's Wytchcraft formed in 1999 and have two self-financed
releases to their credit, the most recent being their 2006 debut
full-length album, the oddly titled
I Taste Your Fucking Tears Of Sorrow.
Considering that this is a self-released effort, the end result
is impressive, classic doom done right with broad
song structures and a surprisingly full production.
The one question mark is the vocals -- simply put, Kai
Tubbesing really doesn't possess a great voice, and his attempts
at majestic doom singing occasionally fall flat.
At times he adopts an almost death-ish growl which is somewhat
more effective, though his voice still isn't commanding as one
might expect from this style of music.
Thankfully he doesn't often try to overextend himself, and at
his best his voice has an engaging, NWOBHM rawness that fits
the riffs well enough.
Vocals aside, this is well-done doom metal, and even with the
vocal shortcomings this is a recommended album.
The band appears to be inactive at this point.
