Witch is Dave Sweetapple (bass), J Mascis (drums), and Kyle Thomas (guitar/vocals), but they're no indie-metal super group or side project; that would underestimate the band members' commitment. This follow-up to their 2006 self-titled debut remains true to the classic heavy rock sound of the first, but has evolved as the band has learned to play to each other's strengths. They've returned to their punk roots and attack with a more aggressive tempo. This record burns with hostility.
