Dead Witches - The Final Exorcism (2019)^{Release ID: 36581}

Dead Witches have faced a lineup upheavel since their debut, Ouija, was released in 2017, with the sad passing of guitarist Gary Elk and the departure of vocalist Virginia Monti. However, the bedrock of the band, bassist Carl Geary and legendary ex-Electric Wizard drummer Mark Greening, are still very much in residence and with the addition of Oliver Hill's mighty riffs and Soozi Chameleone's vocal charms, nothing much has changed. I would say this is a marginally better record, sounding a lot tighter and more titanic than it's predecessor and feels like a band moving onwards and upwards. Sure there is a case for bemoaning the fact that nothing much has changed and it still churns out the female-fronted occult doom tropes, but it is done exceptionally well and if this is your bag, then it will hit the mark for sure.
