90. Witch fever - "Congregation"

If the Sex Pistols had re-recorded the first Black Sabbath album, this is what it would have sounded like. Witch Fever are a scarily young quartet from Manchester that take the nihilistic anarchism of punk and channel that into producing authentic doom metal. They manage to be simultaneously irreverent and respectful to the subject matter that they are nonchalantly mining.  They use this unique take on a decades-old genre to make a remarkably current protest album. But this is not a protest album as we fuddy-duddy oldies remember them. “Congregation” is full of incensed indignation for the world that generation Z will inherit. Witch Fever remarkably takes genres that were created decades before anyone of them was born and manage to create something that sounds both fresh and incendiary.
