“Uta Plotkin's voice should be declared a national treasure, of the doomed nation if not the whole damn American music scene. Bluesy, ballsy, sensual, and commanding, this lady's powerful pipes make this band what it is, and when she chooses to exercise the fullness of her dizzyingly elastic range (as in, for example, her rumbling death growls on "Veil of the Forgotten"), the result is electrifying.” - Pitchfork

“Solo-prone guitarist Rob Wrong is unmistakably ‘a Hendrix acolyte,’” - SPIN

"…few can match vocalist Uta Plotkin's raw soul, a gut-level howl that can just as easily turn into a sinister coo. Finally, those massive, rumbling doom riffs aren't just there to get your slow-motion headbang on (well, they're good for that, too), those riffs want to bore into your skull, crack open a beer and make you a lifer...” – NPR
**********************************************************************
“…crawling epics like "Aurelia" and "Never Know,"… take full advantage of doom's glacial sprawl to take listeners on an 'amps to eleven' psychedelic journey. Songs like these prove that Witch Mountain isn't a one-trick pony, but a band of kindred spirits apparently put on this Earth to create jammy doom, making the world just a little bit heavier one album at a time.” - Allmusic

“Sabbath started out as a blues band, and Witch Mountain is ever mindful of that fact, whether in Wrong’s expressive solos or the swing that drummer Nathan Carson brings to each song. But what makes the new album Cauldron of the Wild so extraordinary is not just the instrumental arrangements, but also the presence of Plotkin, who dominates every song with her powerful, at times decidedly un-metal singing style.” – MSN

“…the band are poised to leave a mark not only on the fertile Pacific Northwest underground, but the doom genre as a whole.” – The Obelisk
