Artist: WITCHMASTER
Title: Witchmaster
Year of Release: 2003
Label: Agonia Records
Format: CD
Definitely one of my fave Polish bands, though to qualify that, it's not as though I worship many beyond they who are starring in this critique, Kat and Turbo. There are probably more, but it's they who come to mind right now.
This is such a cool, chaotic and catchy album. I think it could have benefited from having the guitars more up front, but that's a minor complaint. The sound is pretty filthy, the vocals grim and it's generally all laid out at a great pace.
It's not as Venom-esque as some people may have you believe, and while there is the rock 'n' roll element, it's definitely faster and over the top!
The album closes with 'Bloodlust' by Venom, but I think the chaotic opener 'Never Stop The Madness' sums up Witchmaster stylistically and philosophically.
Don't give a penny of your money to Agonia Records. Pay Witchmaster directly to burn a copy or something like that.
