Witch Mountain Release New Single “Priceless Pain”; Touring with C.O.C.
A new Witch Mountain single is only welcome news, as far as I’m concerned. The Portland, Oregon, doomers took the stage at this past weekend’s Northwest Hesh Fest playing among likewise heavyweights like Acid King, Red Fang, Nebula, Poison Idea, Big Business, and a bunch of others, and to mark the occasion, they’ve unveiled “Priceless Pain,” which is the first studio recording they’ve had since their self-titled LP (review here) last year, which, you know, not at all a long silent stretch or anything, but still, as I say, welcome. Of particular interest is the fact that guitarist Rob Wrong — late of The Skull — also recorded his own guitar parts at his Wrong Way Recording. Wonder if he’ll just do his own stuff or bring in other bands. With as much as Witch Mountain have done with Billy Anderson, I have to imagine there’s been some measure of tutelage there, even if by osmosis.
They’ve got a lyric video up for the new track now, and as you can hear, the guitar sounds beastly. Also Kayla Dixon‘s vocals. I love it when Witch Mountain get screamy.
And oh yeah, last night the band started their Fall tour supporting C.O.C., which is both a good gig to get and a good gig to see. I’d go to that show, and I’ve already seen C.O.C. twice this year.
