The US metal band perfectly combines melodic heaviness with pinches of progressive, sludge, and other styles with seeming ease. WITCH RIPPER can be generally located within the wider sonic realm that is inhabited by MASTODON, BARONESS, and HIGH ON FIRE, yet they also continue to channel the rock bombast of QUEEN and DAVID BOWIE as well as the modern prog of COHEED AND CAMBRIA and MUSE. WITCH RIPPER are also determined to tour across the United States and hope for a first voyage to Europe in support of "Through the Hourglass". Metal is anything but dead, and this album is living proof of its vibrant present.<br /> <br /> Tracklist:<br /> 1. Odyssey in Retrograde<br /> 2. The Portal<br /> 3. Symmetry of the Hourglass<br /> 4. Echoes and Dust<br /> 5. The Clock Queen<br /> 6. Proxima Centuari<br /> 7. The Spiral Eye https://en.merhq.net/en/Artists/Witch-Ripper/Witch-Ripper-Through-The-Hourglass.html https://en.merhq.net/en/Artists/Witch-Ripper/Witch-Ripper-The-Flight-After-The-Fall.html Tue, 30 Jun 2026 06:40:04 +0200 <img src='https://en.merhq.net//out/pictures/generated/product/thumb/250_250_100/witch.ripper-the.flight.after.the.fall-mer098-main.jpg' border=0 align='left' hspace=5>WITCH RIPPER have created a loving pastiche of the legendary pulp science fiction stories of old. The story told on their sophomore full-length "The Flight after the Fall" has all those tasty ingredients: a mad professor, his dying wife, cryogenic chambers, a black hole as well as themes of love, failure, loss, and acceptance. Musically, WITCH RIPPER have packed "The Flight After the Fall" with as much aggression and barely tamed electricity as anybody knowing them would expect, but there are also fleetly intricate guitar interplay, touches of subtle synth, and cosmic atmospherics as well as unshakably catchy clean vocal hooks. In short, WITCH RIPPER maintain their brutal roots while embracing the arena rock bombast of QUEEN and DAVID BOWIE, the exuberant modern prog of COHEED AND CAMBRIA, and MUSE. Born and raised in the city of grey skies and loud music, Seattle in 2012, Washington's WITCH RIPPER have seamlessly welded together the contemporary heaviness of such hard-hitting acts as MASTODON, GOJIRA, and BARONESS with the anthemic bombast of classic artists in the vein of QUEEN and DAVID BOWIE from the start. WITCH RIPPER approach their music in true American fashion: big riffs, bigger hooks, and damn, that drummer! With "The Flight After the Fall", this heavy Seattle outfit re-emerge boldly into the guitar-driven US metal scene.<br /> <br /> Tracklist:<br /> 1. Enter the Loop<br /> 2. Madness and Ritual Solitude<br /> 3. The Obsidian Forge<br /> 4. Icarus Equation<br /> 5. Everlasting in Retrograde Pts I & II https://en.merhq.net/en/Artists/Witch-Ripper/Witch-Ripper-The-Flight-After-The-Fall.html
