Review:
Seminal
UK Doom/Psychedelic/Stoner Rock collective WIHT split up back in
2012. I've been a huge fan of these guys since they started. I've
promoted them and interviewed these guys on the old blog in the past.
If you haven't heard of WIHT then you're seriously missing out. As
WIHT play epic progressive Doom, Stoner, Post-Rock, Post-Metal and
Desert Rock kind of sound.
I
was stunned in early July when I found out these guys were back
together and they released this fantastic 17 minute plus epic called
Edgar The Atheling. A tripped out musical odyssey where WIHT venture
as many different musical realms as possible. Imagine Pelican jamming
with Karma To Burn or Sons Of Alpha Centauri with a healthy sideline
of Doom.
This
song is EPIC as it comes as WIHT play through a whirlwind of
psychedelic emotions that will have you wondering where will the song
will take you next. It's possibly WIHT's heaviest material they've
recorded to date and possibly their most experimental as the
Post-Rock Ambient sounds add a sense of mystery especially around the
10 minute mark. WIHT go very quiet for a few minutes before Rick's
heavy and intricate drumming add a real sense of purpose.
Edgar
The Atheling is cinematic on a grand epic scale. It's heavy style of
subtle post-rock/post-metal riffs against the heavier doom/stoner
psyched out jams. Oh yeah, WIHT are certainly back and what a track
to announce your comeback with. Edgar The Aethling is an intelligent
and thought provoking slice of modern day Post-Metal/Stoner Metal
riffs to lose yourself in. Damn good to have you back guys. Bring on
the next record. Until then, this track is a must-have release.
You
can download Edgar The Atheling from BandCamp now. Don't miss out.
