When I take a look at the song titles I already can’t take them seriously anymore. I hope they don’t take them self too serious either. I wonder how this started, you have to be rather loaded to think this out. Let’s make an album about witches and with all song titles with the word witch in it! O.k., but what are we going to do with the instrumental song Paganini & Bach that we already played when our band name was Iron Witch? I understand why they didn’t change the title because “Pagan (witch) ini & Ba(wit)ch” would be too much…
Many times I get questions about metal music, many people (who don’t know shit about metal) have a very simplistic idea about metal music and lyrics. I of course don’t agree and I try to defend the whole metal scene. From now on I hope they don’t ask me about this band, because I just don’t know what to say then.
Now more about the music. The music is very 80’s heavy metal, a kind of Saxon on speed with a Motörhead attitude, a few old school thrash riffs and some speed metal influences, accompanied by a lot of shredding guitars. The vocals are harsh ones and stick to the style. The best part of the album are the neo classical sounding guitar solos/shreds. You can hear that Andy Charrocker is a fan of Malmsteen and Massi. If you are a fan of shredding, you can add a few points to the rating. The weak point are the songs, they are simple and standard sounding and after the fourth track I get a little bored. The songs are too average, not special and interesting enough. The total package, immature titles, simplistic lyrics and average songs made me give them above rating. Hexenizer for sure didn’t put a spell on me with this album.
