Legions Of The Deeper Depths [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

The legions return... from even deeper depths! Here's the second reissue of the band's sold-out classic from 2012, "Legions of the Deep", remastered in 2015 and now featuring the "Hammerstorm" EP as bonus tracks for the total of 76 minutes of Lovecraftian madness. With multiple albums, EPs and compilations under their belts, Arkham Witch is a name that should be perfectly familiar to the old school heavy metal and doom fans, especially those into THE LAMP OF THOTH, the previous band of the vocalist Simon and drummer Emily. On their sophomore album the Brits serve one ridiculously catchy "hit" after another. Their influences are pretty obvious: DEEP SWITCH, HELL, WITCHFINDER GENERAL, JUDAS PRIEST, PENTAGRAM, SAINT VITUS, MANILLA ROAD, CIRITH UNGOL... but at the same time it's not possible to mistake them for any other band (except for TLOT perhaps), as their personality shines strongly through their music and attitude. It's straightforward doom- and NWOBHM-laden traditional metal, occult, but with a tinge of humor, with these trademark bard/brigand type vocals of Simon. And if it makes you do weird moves and speak in strange tongues, you are not alone... you've just joined the Legions of the Deep!
