WTF CHUCK If Sabbath replaced Ozzy during the 70s with Ian Gillan. This is what it might sound like.
Great mix Speed and Slow HEAVY RIFFS.

doomcrew Great band .Loved 1st album this one took a while to warm up to.I guess when i realized this singer sounds alot like Kevin Martin of Candlebox and music sounds like early Soundgarden at that point this album became a no brainer for me . Favorite track: Love Could Be Like This.

the mountain water running black the black rain fall upon our back from small beginning something grow become Disciple of the Crow skin peels back black feathers bloom beneath the flesh another blood turns to black as night descend revealing threads of silken sin we perch and nest on blood soaked wire above the throng and burning pyre we slit the throat to beat the wing to hear the cawing Raven King skin peels back black feathers bloom beneath the flesh another limb from limb we peck and claw beneath the skin we hear the caw too proud defilers of the corn you rue the day that you were born your empire fall and crumble still your children worm food for our field skin peels back black feathers bloom beneath the flesh another

Oh thou who burns in heart for those you find here burning In this Hall whose mighty fires you shall feed in turn How long have you be crying no mercy for the weak IN THE COURT OF THE DRAGON GOD What mercy would you wanna seek on the shore waves break the twin suns sink monsters rise to serve the yellow king shadows lengthen now through stranger skies red dawn comes to watch blue starlight die voice of my soul my song is dead die here unsung my tears un-shed nearer yet nearer still ~ no lock could bar his entry moving softly at the door ~ the bolts rot with his touch past human help or hope, past remorse, past relief the Yellow King ~ his tattered mantle opens spreading grief on the shore waves break the twin suns sink his tattered mantle opens monsters rise to serve the yellow king the yellow king awakes shadows lengthen now through stranger skies under stranger skies red dawn comes to watch blue starlight die voice of my soul my song is dead die here unsung my tears un-shed we have eaten of the tree Eden's innocence and dreams they flee a grey blot is growing there in the gloom shadows fall about and bloom nearer and nearer still ~ no lock could bar his entry moving softly at the door ~ the bolts rot with his touch past human help or hope, past remorse, past relief the Yellow King ~ his tattered mantle opens spreading grief

The Sea 06:37
long time since the taste of water dry is my tongue long time since the wind has blown up to rattle my lungs salt crust think I'm turning to rust the end has begun and she is leading me can't you see that she is speeding me first time that I smelt seawater the sails I have flung first time felt the wind sails torn up to rigging we clung a strong gust fed my wanderlust my journey begun and she is needing me can't you see that she is bleeding me can't you see the sea gonna take my life but come what may know I won't be here by the break of day life times she has taken slaughtered with her serpent's tongue all drink from her cup of poison the hearts she has strung they come lovers burning with lust all have been stung and she is speeding me can't you see that she is needing me can't you see that she is bleeding me can't you see that she's misleading me can't you see the sea

Half a Goon and Half a God the king in yellow walks his gilded marble palace halls Half a father Half a fraud the daughters of the throne room know they serve his beck & call they hear the call hear curfew sirens wail as they drive the coffin nails he shall don his coat of chain mail when all resistance dies when his eyes have filled the skies crushing children's cries with hobnails Half a ghoul and almost gone the king in yellow reads your mind from his gilded throne his words a dying echo still repeat like cancer grown that voice inside your head is not your own it's not your own kiss the beast beneath the veil broken souls thrown down the well lives lay butchered for the feast in the belly of the beast hear curfew sirens wail as they drive the coffin nails he shall don his coat of chain mail when all resistance dies when his eyes have filled the skies crushing children's cries with hobnails kiss the beast beneath the veil broken souls thrown down the well lives reduced to hanging meat for the belly of the beast when the systems all derail when the earth is bought wholesale when the cleansing goes full-scale as our sun begins to pale

Dead Heroes 04:26
darkness behind your eyes fruiting from a Poison Tree the cold embrace of barren limbs the last day you tried to be too many dead heroes MARTYR SAINT AND SHAMAN WISE CLIMBING ODEN'S HANGING TREE all meet beneath red burning skies the last day you try to be too many dead heroes scorched by fame they can't out run too many dead heroes FROZEN TIME IN AMBER GUM too many dead heroes far beyond a distant sun Too low to raise my head too deep to breathe the air again this sea floor is my bed my sunken chest my swollen brain Too cold to start a fire too dark to ever sleep again with armor of barbed wire I'll never have to feel the pain but I'm gonna break

"Disciples Of The Crow is a Stoner/Doom Metal Masterpiece !" outlawsofthesun.blogspot.com/2017/12/shadow-witch-disciples-of-crow-album.html

"Disciples of the Crow is a considerable achievement for Shadow Witch and a firm declaration of who they are" theobelisk.net/obelisk/2017/12/05/shadow-witch-disciples-of-the-crow-review-stream/

"one of the VERY finest releases of 2017" www.riffrelevant.com/2017/12/17/shadow-witch-disciples-of-the-crow-album-review-full-streams/

"Shadow Witch have raised the ante and excitement with a more daring and genuinely exciting record." doomcharts.com/2018/01/02/doom-charts-for-december-2017/

"Disciples Of The Crow handily confirms the brilliant promises of Sun Killer" www.metal-integral.com/fr/chroniques/6212/shadow-witch/chronique-disciples-of-the-crow.html

"Sometimes a band appears and manages to cut a swathe through all the bullshit of genres and sub-genres by just delivering good old fashioned, well structured, superbly written and arranged rock songs and in doing so manages to unite fans of all the genres of metal and rock under one flag. Shadow Witch, from Kingston, New York, are one such band..." stonerking1.blogspot.co.uk/2017/12/shadow-witch-disciples-of-crow-review.html

"A phenomenal slice of music rooted, but never beholden to, the past, is in a nutshell what makes Shadow Witch so damn good. With “Disciples Of The Crow” they truly fly, and there is gold lurking in the darkness here."
