FIRST IMPRESSION: Witchrider EP – by Witchrider

Witchrider is an Alternativ,  Desert Rock band from Graz/AUT.
They formed in 2012 by Michael Hirschmugl (also known for being the Bassist of Supercruel and a part of the electro duo Trauma), H.P. Leitner (Former member of the Band Phi) and Daniel Dorninger (of Supercruel and the second member of Trauma). The band was originally called Desert Mountain (after "Desert Sessions" in California). However, they decided that "Witchrider" was a better fit to their musical style.


On the EP are 5 songs and one bonus track. It starts with the nearly 7 minute long song “Black”, witch you won't forget, it's a really catchy tune. Next song is “Shedevile”, It sounds like a mix of QOTSA and Eagles of Death Metal, not only this song, but the whole EP has this impression. 
 
Wind Up” is a heavy fuzzy song with whiskey soaked vocals, the first 20 seconds have a little feeling of a Brant Bjork track.

The next song is „Freaks Unite“, also a heavier song and with the last track „Nowhere near the Sky“ they are back at their Queens of the Stone age trip, higher voice and guitars with a catchy rhytm.

All the songs are mixed and mastered by the band and they did a great job, the sound of the instruments and vocals are really professional.

The bonus track is the song “Black” feat. Trauma, so it´s a electro interpretation.

You can listen & buy this EP via bandcamp.
