The Witch Said No – Call The Dead (Digital EP – Aliens Production)
The Witch Said No is a relatively obscure project from Russia that has been active for several years and has already released a number of recordings in its home country, including a debut album. Very little is known about the project itself, which only adds to its mysterious aura. Earlier this year, the band released a new EP through the Slovak label Aliens Production, featuring three new tracks alongside six remixes.
The Witch Said No delivers a powerful form of Dark-Electro driven by bombastic heavy beats and overwhelming repetitive sequences, topped with an almost completely unintelligible, hateful vocal style. The title track is certainly an interesting discovery, while the two remaining new songs follow a similar direction but prove slightly less convincing. The remixes of the title track were created by KIFOTH, Deadjump, Human Vault, Novakill, and TC75. The EP also includes an alternative version of an older track.
What stands out most here is undoubtedly the title track itself, which shows strong potential, alongside several successful remixes — especially Novakill’s contribution, which turns out to be my personal favorite. (Rating:7).
