Black Witchery - it is a collection of remastered versions of previously released 3" CDr albums - Virgin Witch, Devil's Witch and Season of the Witch. To say it short - witchery, inspired by various horror movies. This selected album - almost an hour of crushing noise. After hearing of the album I feel stepped down from the fire and lost in a mist of unconsciousness. Release begins with a drawling analog howl, which scatters and develops to uncompromising disintegrated and created, destroyed and built anew building of noise. First 16 minutes completely entangles the listener to witchcraft by Phil Blankenship. This song for me is the most pleasant and the most interesting from the whole Black Witchery album - multilayered and widening the scale of sound frequencies more and more with high squeaks or metalic sounds. No boredom or numbness. The sound is like fire, which burns and changes, constantly transforms, gets frozen for a moment and lets the listener to chew these sounds. After these short stops - haste, moving and developing goes on. A few minutes to the end - the Virgin Witch is deadened a little. The mass of sound starts to spasm until finally chokes and the sound almost disappears. But after several seconds it "resurrects" and slowly, in big convulsions, the first part ends with the same drawling sound with which it started. The following "song" is different and the longest one - Devil's Witch. The space with the help of reverb is created somewhere in the background. On the foreground - the disturbing picture is being painted. One moment the sound is absolutely calm, another - intensive medley of noise. All that is emphasized by uncommonly (as for noise) high reverb. Pulsating waves of it widens the sound space very much and makes not-so-easy piece of noise into extremely hardly understandable one and gives very creepy atmosphere to it. Season of the Witch is of similar mood to the previous one. The song is very noisy to the half of it and then the visions start. Sleepy, nightmarish view. In that view, like in a mist, hardly groping forms of sound are made, sinking into unknown. Something is happening. Something that is hard to understand. Perhaps it's a work of witches. No, it's the ritual of sorcerer The Cherry Point.
