Witch - Soul Of Fire 7" vinyl *Feat J.Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. Grunge

Description: Mint copy of 7" by Witch featuring J.Mascis of Dinosaur Jr! Released on Damaged Goods Records A limited edition 7” single featuring ‘SOUL OF FIRE’ (taken from their debut album) and an exclusive b-side ‘RIP VAN WINKLE’ (early version) The group Witch was born from a marriage of apparently contradictory influences. J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. renown and his long time friend Dave Sweetapple were interested in forming a hard rock band. They found willing and able conspirators in Kyle Thomas and Asa Irons, members New England avant-folk outfit Feathers. On their eponymous debut album, this line-up mounts a mighty sonic tumult that harkens back to classic heavy metal sound of early 70’s outfits while still sounding modern in it’s assault (and without falling into the ubiquitous “Stoner Rock” pigeonhole). The eponymous debut album from Witch is scheduled for release on TeePee Records March 7th, 2006. In Witch Mascis returns to his first love, drums, playing with an unbridled passion that recalls his work with Deep Wound, his early 80’s hardcore band. Meanwhile, Kyle sings and writes the group’s supernatural-oriented lyrics, exploring the juxtapositions between age and youth, the paradox of meeting yourself, and the dilemma of falling asleep on a mountaintop and waking up a hundred years year. Asa weaves a dense texture of rhythm and lead guitar lines that ebb and flow over the basic monolithic, trundling riff-rock song structure. Dave adds additional weight to Witches sound with massive, crunching bass lines, returning this his instrument of choice when he played in Newfoundland punk bands back in the early 80s. Witch headed into the studio and recorded their debut album for Tee Pee Records with engineer John Agnello, immediately following an extensive dinosaur jr reunion tour this passed Summer. John had already recorded Dinosaur Jr., J Mascis + the fog, Early Man, Son Volt and Screaming Trees to name a few.
