Do you wanna rock? Well, forget kiss. If you just want some bottom heavy, sloggin’ through swamp but with punchy grooves, lots of muscle and even more attitude, plenty of distortion and Saliva’ish vocals, then you’ve come to the right place. Sort of a Southern rockishs sound is what you get from Dixie Witch, except that it’s been dipped in a healthy swamp metal, Sabbath referencing coating. Thick thick thick, metal with the attitude and flavor of rock and roll (or rock and roll with the crunch of metal. While not leaning toward the psychedelic end of the doom spectrum, Dixie Witch nevertheless does well. They do what they do and there ain’t nothing with rock and roll and a home-rolled in your mouth.
