Album Reviews | Sep 4th, 2009
Record Label: Alternative Tentacles
Genre: Noise Punk

I guess you could call this prog-crust. Noisy punky-punk in an explosive wall of sound, packed with interesting changes and directions. It’s a cacophony, but the musicianship is top-notch.
On the downside, even short songs felt too long and I found myself skipping through good songs that became grating at the 2-minute mark. Also, I tend to like alternating male-female vox, but Witch Hunt’s female vocals lack character or distinction beyond screaming one’s head off. Even in a noise band, it’s distracting.
Bottom Line: Solid noise-punk band with some interesting twists, but would prefer just the guy singing/screaming.
Notable Tracks: Sick Industry, Reflections
