The Seas Of Draugen (Full - Length)

by Witchbones

supported by

pretender_to_the_throne Hauntingly beautiful, with a great atmosphere and a kick when needed. Favorite track: Nebulous Ghost Ship.

bcb723 I love this record but, truthfully, all of Witchbones releases are worth hearing. The Seas Of Draugen ranks near the top of his discography (along with swansong Goety) mainly for its relentless playing & raw claustrophobic sound. All finished in under 30 minutes, leaving you torn wishing it were longer but knowing anything more would ruin the nautical nightmare vibe. It goes without saying, but "The Ritual Continues" is so terrifying & heavy, it holds the album like glue. A Vardlokker destroyer. Favorite track: The Ritual Continues (We Haunt Ourselves).

June Egbert Is Valid Mechanical, pummeling and unrelenting. Everythng I look for in war metal. Favorite track: Nebulous Ghost Ship.

darkenedspirit (Midgard_OBM) As of the first listening, I have appreciated : cavernous, primitive, sick, with a fatty production and a dark, leaded and oppressive atmosphere. But it is above all this chaos that seduced me with massive and destructive riffs, a dirty and filthy sound and inhuman, extremely guttural vocals, seeming to emanate from a cave with in its lair a bloodthirsty beast. My review in french on Spirit of Metal webzine : www.spirit-of-metal.com/fr/album/The_Seas_of_Draugen/380076

Baphomet Wolf puts me in the zone, a type of trance wherein I give not a fuck Favorite track: Nebulous Ghost Ship.

about

Hailing from Portland, Oregon, just last year did WITCHBONES form but soon began an onslaught of dark 'n' devastating short-lengths. At the beginning of 2019 alone, mainman Vardlokker released two EPs a month apart - Akasha and Entropy Rite, respectively, through WITCHBONES' Bandcamp - and right behind it, the aptly titled debut album We Haunt Ourselves. More momentum continued with the Akasha II The Lost Demos compilation and then another EP, The Mirror Effect, slated for Halloween.

But, like a man possessed, Vardlokker aligns himself with IRON BONEHEAD to unleash WITCHBONES' densest and most penetrating recording yet, The Seas of Draugen. Like its aquatic, mythological namesake, here does Vardlokker drown the listener in wave after wave of shuddering, shivering horror that looks and sounds and feels very much like familiar bestial black/death, but is instead uniquely imbued with a wandering, amorphous atmosphere that creates a truly unsettling tension. Crushing but cast away, doomed to solitude and one's own internal destruction, the literally massive, ever-so-slowly-roiling maelstrom WITCHBONES conjures forth is echoed within the thematic arc of The Seas of Draugen itself: setting sail with "The Nun Collector," taking in a "Nebulous Ghost Ship" later on, and sending that listener to the torrid depths, that veritable Davy Jones' Locker of the soul & spirit, with the concluding trifecta of "The Ritual Continues (We Haunt Ourselves)," "At the Shores (Draugen's Revenge)," and "The Candle Burns Alone (Dead Sailors)."

Smothered by the sea, ravaged by bestial frequency, DOOM assuredly and austerely spelled out either way, WITCHBONES commits you to the gravest depths of The Seas of Draugen.

Revenant Marquis continues with the subterranean vocals on this album. Percussion sound on all tracks has a very large sound, especially the bass drum. Guitar is generally very clean. The more I listen, the more I get Xasthur vibes, but with a more rock and roll influence. Still very depressive and chaotic. A cool album! QQBeastMode
