Atomic Witch - Crypt of Sleepless Malice (CD)

Release Date: 11/04/22

Atomic Witch conjure up the caustic aggression and ghostly wails of early black & thrash w/ the pummeling chainsaw gunfire of death metal.

Long-time disciples of the dank ominous corners of the Cleveland metal and hardcore scene, the forces in Atomic Witch are violently vomiting forth their debut album, Crypt of Sleepless Malice, unto the ears of the unassuming masses. With a few eclectic releases under their belt, namely the Void Curse EP (2019), a 4-way split w/ Subtype Zero (ex-200 Stab Wounds)/ Wallcreeper/ Toxic Warlord (2019), and an interesting EP called Death, Sex, and Satan, that saw the band cover 3 wildly different tunes from Deicide, Faith No More, and W.A.S.P., Atomic Witch have finally concocted a recipe for their first full length album. While the covers EP was a very honest representation of the wide scope of the band's range that makes them much harder to describe than your average extreme metal band, Crypt of Sleepless Malice, certainly continues to stretch boundaries and challenge the norm which is all for the better. Conjuring up the caustic, battery acid aggression and ghostly wails of early black and thrash with the pummeling, tremolo, chainsaw gunfire of death metal, Atomic Witch do not seek to worship any one scene or time period.
