Review
Cosmic Doomsters NinjaWitch continue their deep exploration for Deep Spaced Out Stoner Heaviness with their latest EP Frequency Of Gods that follows a similar template to their debut EP Order Of The Red House. The record stretches across the whole level of Space Rock spectrum with levels of massive distortion which is solidified by an epic sense of musical adventure with the spaced out guitars, droned out rhythm section and sublime vocals from Nathan Wright.
NinjaWitch really sell their gloomy sense of destruction amongst the stars which is also down to the incredible talents of Danielle Fehr who recorded, engineered, mixed, and mastered the EP at The Wizard Productions. Danielle expertly captures NinjaWitch’s seedy SABBATHIAN sound which flourishes into Psych Stoner Metal territory on tracks such as I and Lord Of Light.
The first two tracks of I and Lord Of Light is what HAWKWIND would sound like if they crossed paths with the likes of Monster Magnet, SLEEP and High On Fire in places. The lyrics are destructive and wildly poetic with Nathan once again channelling his inner “WYNDORF” to absolute perfection whilst offering his own crazy SHAMANIC spin throughout the whole EP.
NinjaWitch once more focus upon areas of Distorted Doom and Sci-Fi mythology which comes in the shape of Ambient Sounds, Electronic Beats and vivid Psychedelic soundscapes which becomes quite varied on the later stages of the EP. Songs such as Star Ghost and White Buffalo may have a slightly fantastical creative outline to them but NinjaWitch keep demonstrating what a great band they truly are when they play low-key moments of classic Spaced Out Grunge and Sludge Metal surroundings. There’s a part within Star Ghost that has a gloomy Post-Punk, Neil Young and Bob Dylan aesthetic with how the vocals are delivered before the sudden shift into heavy Stoner Metal landscapes.
This could be me but I noticed that certain parts of Star Ghost were influenced by the classic track Knockin On Heaven’s Door. Maybe the band say I’m over-thinking this aspect but it’s the vibe I get and it’s what makes this one of my favourite parts of the whole record.
The final track Iron Lotus is another surreal and superbly heavy distorted expedition into the vast cosmos with sludgy guitars being the best part of this track which allows NinjaWitch to demonstrate why we need a full length album from them as soon as possible. This EP runs for under thirty minutes or so but that’s not enough time as I was emotionally invested before the record suddenly ends but what a musical rush and massive high that NinjaWitch takes you upon.
When everything is said and done, NinjaWitch have delivered another massive slab of pure Cosmic/Stoner Metal genius with Frequency Of Gods that genuinely allows them to become one of the most exciting Psych Stoner Metal bands around.
