Much like a rotten, toxic, deranged and rabid sewer rat, Cleveland’s Atomic Witch is hard to categorize and even harder to hunt down and kill.
The sickness of the world at large has only strengthened the Witch, who took time while vomiting forth a full-length slab of misery to pump out a EP that gives insight into the blood soaked roots of their shape-shifting brand of atypical and amorphous heavy metal tinged death thrash.
Through covering three wildly different songs, Atomic Witch takes time to worship the old gods while lifting the cosmic veil on the inception of their unique and uncompromising sound. Though the songs will sound familiar, the stench of vomit, piss, and blood that Atomic Witch leaves upon their very core reeks fresh and pungent above all else.
A perfect aural accompaniment of the impending witching hour, “Death, Sex, and Satan” drops Halloween Night to infest and infect. May the full moon unleash the beast inside us all.

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
