You might remember blackened doom outfit Witching from their Demo:listen feature. The group have accomplished quite a bit in the time since we checked in on them, releasing an EP and now new song “False Martyr.” The song employs Witching’s formula of combining ugly sludge and Dystopia-style shrieks with vocalist Jacqui Powell’s clean singing voice; the contrast is striking, but powerful.
“The message of ‘False Martyr’ embodies the current state of affairs in our world, the unheard voices finding their way to the light,” the band state. “Whatever our tormentor may be, death, addiction, depression, anger, we experience this discomfort — and silenced, it builds pressure. Our strengths as a band will help us overcome past issues. With a mighty noise, we release this negativity into the abyss and bathe in the light of bliss.”
