Cornwall based doom rock trio Cybernetic Witch Cult used footage from their October 2019 tour for the video for Cromagnonaut, the second single from their upcoming new album Absurdum ad Nauseam. It's another food for thought song. What if the human race can't cope with all the fast changes, technological and otherwise, because evolution is just not working fast enough to keep up? Let alone be ready to travel to the stars?
Cornwall's finest doom rock trio Cybernetic Witch Cult have posted rig rundown videos to shed some light on the process of creating their sound in the studio and on stage. And yes, some of it is hardly ever used at all, but is just fun to have. Wwtch bass player Doug MacKinnon drummer, Lewis May and guitarist Alex Wyld rave and rant about their tools of trade.
Cybernetic Witch Cult, a doom rock trio from Cornwall, have made a video for The Myth Of Sisyphus, the lead single from their upcoming new album Absurdum ad Nauseam. The track was inspired by French writer Albert Camus' absurdist philosophical essay. And like the "hero" from ancient Greek mythology they are busy pushing a huge boulder (made of cardboard, duct tape, bamboo and a mic stand), albeit in the woods this time. High-brow psychedelic metal that wil be way over the heads of most people, but they can enjoy it as a piece of intense, noisy stoner rock.
HCTF's annual list of the 20 albums that will be in regular rotation for many years to come. The long list of memorable releases boasted about 50 albums. Tough decisions were made narrowing it down. As per usual it's a mixed bag of genres: rock in its various incarnations (garage, hard, post, prog), avant-garde, jazz, pop, folk, funk. Also of note: four live albums made the cut.
Today: countdown from number 10 to 6.
Please keep in mind to shop at your local record store, buy directly from the artist, attend live shows. And shut the fuck up while the band is playing.
Cybernetic Witch Cult, a doom rock trio from Cornwall, have been flying under the radar for a couple of years, gigging endlessly and treating their fans to lengthy sc-fi stoner rock songs about nuclear doom and pagan lore. Their new album Troglodithic Trip is a throwback to their demo showcase Morlock Rock - they re-recorded four songs - plus two brand new tunes. Play the albums back to back and it is obvious that they have grown a lot. New drummer Lewis May's ambidextrous, metronomic style gives singer/guitarist Alex Wyld and bass player Kale Deane a rock solid foundation to let rip. They play loud, take plenty of risks, and have a dark sense of humour that is pretty rare in their chosen genre, like showing Slim Pickens' portrayal of Major Kong in Dr. Strangelove riding on an atom bomb when they play Nuclear Sunset.
All the arcane imagery can't hide the fact that they are a serious lot who are setting their sights on reaching the bigger stages. Stoner rock will never be as huge as trash metal or hard rock - the progressiv@ element gets in the way, but Cybernetic Witch Cult deserve their band name in big letters on the posters of the metal festival circuit.
