Burning Witch - Crippled Lucifer

After the breakup of the cult doom/death band Thorr’s Hammer in 1995, Stephen O’Malley, Greg Anderson and Jamie Sykes formed Burning Witch. The band then added G. Stuart Dahlquist and vocalist Edgy 59, rounding out their lineup.
The sound, attitude and execution of Burning Witch is very slow, painful, and heavy. While the band was unabashed about their influences they effectively used these influences to create something unique for the time. Ultra-heavy, dark minimalist riffs, bombastic bass, and plodding war drums collided with vocals which alter between a nasal, melodic singing voice to a brutal, tortured demented scream/shriek.
Re-issue of the Crippled Lucifer compilation CD that includes the two EP’s Rift.Canyon.Dreams and Towers.
This is the first time the track Rift.Canyon.Dreams is available on CD.
Members of Burning Witch have gone on to become hugely influential members of the metal community, playing in bands such as Asva, Sunn0))), Khanate and Goats nake.
