Witchwood - Litanies from the Woods (Jolly Rodger Records)


Witchwood is a psychedelic/heavy prog band from northern Italy with southern and hard rock influences. This is their debut album and it is truly a masterpiece of its genre. They draw infuences from bands such as Uriah Heep, Jethro Tull, Hawkwind and Lynyrd Skynyrd, while at the same time demonstrating excellent songwriting skills, going beyond their influences. The album consists of compositions of varying length and disposition balncing between straightforward composition and long trippy ones. The highlights of the album include "The Golden King" and "Shades of Gray" as well as the 15 minute epic "Farawell to the Ocean Boulevard". For fans of progressive music, this is another quality release of 2015, promising hours of music exploration into the Witchwood.
