AMENRA "Nowena I 9.10"

Take a look at the figure on the cover of Longing, the debut from Seattle doom duo Bell Witch. Its eerie presence is appropriate for a record defined by inescapable haunting and loss. On these six songs, bassist/vocalist Dylan Desmond and drummer/vocalist Adrian Guerra play patiently, and sparingly; they appear to be carefully purging themselves of an inexplicable force corrupting their bodies. Instead of going for a frontal assault, piling riffs upon riffs upon riffs, they opt for something subtler, a spacious approach that affects the entire nervous system.
The album opens with a 20 minute journey into despair, "Bails (of Flesh)", a track that will likely weed out those who can't handle the unrelentingly downcast feel of the record. The tracks get shorter from there, but they also get sparser. Of note is "Longing (the River of Ash)", which grows more drawn out as it progresses. In this music of solitude, it's the loneliest track by far. Metal's defined by exaggeration, but the title Longing is perfect here: Desmond and Guerra want to go back to where pain didn't consume their reality.
A duo's primary challenge is to find a way to fill up space with minimal equipment. Usually, when a doom band's a two-piece, the guitars are double-amped and so downtuned that a bassist becomes irrelevant. Bell Witch flip this convention, employing a six-string bass in place of a guitar. (Often, one can hardly tell it's a bass.) Even lacking guitar, Desmond constructs melodies reminiscent of funeral doom acts like Skepticism and Esoteric, adding a touch of American dirtiness from his experience as the bassist of Samothrace.
There is one exception where the bass doesn't masquerade as a guitar. "Beneath the Mask", save for a sample from the Edgar Allen Poe-inspired film The Masque of the Red Death, is a five-minute drumless drone piece, where notes fly off and subsequently wither like Icarus on 33 1/3 RPM. The clean bass is more lonesome and more eerie than the distorted bass that the album's built upon. "Mask" seems like the perfect track to incorporate a sudden blast of hisses, feedback, screams-- something to make the listener jolt. It doesn't, and that suspense, like walking over rows of false trap doors, adds to the creepy atmosphere.
Throughout, Guerra's growls are complementary of the genre, and he even throws in a few blackened shrieks on "Rows (of Endless Waves)". Desmond's clean vocals, however, are more compelling, taking different shapes throughout the record. His warm, forlorn style carries the latter half of "Bails (of Flesh)", turning maudlin doom into perverted praise music. It's not a far stretch to imagine this being played in some church that worships self-destruction, congregants raising their hands up high, arms bleeding from cutting themselves. Desmond gives hails and salutations to the misery, like Om learning of a terminal illness diagnosis.
The previously mentioned "Rows" sees Desmond's voice become more delicate, almost crushing under the weight of the music. Frailty is important to the variety of doom Bell Witch explores, but rarely does a vocal performance capture what it is to stand on the line between sanity and madness. Desmond will whisper certain lines in "Rows", adding emphasis without raising his voice. He channels dISEMBOWELMENT's Renato Gallina on "Longing" making that track a true successor to the Australian doom-death quartet's 1993 classic Transcendence into the Peripheral. Remember that editorial arguing that metal vocalists are irrelevant? It wasn't entirely without merit, but Desmond challenges that line of thinking. He's got a cleverness and sense of space most vocalists don't possess. His voice is much like the music itself: it reverberates around, as if wandering and looking for a way out of this despair. Open and wide-reaching as it may be, there's also a sense of weighty claustrophobia in his voice, as if it's carrying his burdens, and the burdens of others, too. (via Pitchfork.com) 

Bell Witch - Rows (of endless Waves)

A killer riff crushes it’s way out of the speakers. It repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats.
The endless cascade of repeating riffs create an highly psychedelic feel, where you can reach a higher consciousness without intoxicating your body. The feeling grows along with the track. The growth itself is slow but intentional. The tracks are created and executed with a fierce accuracy and perspective.
Every hit and note have their meaning. None the less the sound is crushing like a panzer battalion on a slow march. There is a dangerous groove hanging over the record that manages to marry the world of stoner rock with the creative drone doom of Sunn 0))).
The added trippy passages adds on the flower people feel and fullfills the sound with a hippie aesthetic that the band name let’s you expect. Effects fill the soundscape adding more to the sound than just heavy distortion. The elements are mastered to the full with all parts perfecting each other. I cannot emphasize enough on how well everything is executed, only the vocals could be questioned concerning theirpurpose and function. As for themselves the vocals do not create any irritation, but it feels like they don’t add anything worthwhile to the mix.
Still over looking a minor flaw, Dark Buddha Rising is a definite force to be reckoned with! via www.damned-by-light.com
