WITCHES MOON A Storm of Golden Mare and Black Cauldron CD

Step into a world of lo-fi mysticism and ethereal haze with Witches Moon, the enigmatic project from the United States that bridges the gap between Atmospheric Black Metal and Dreamy Dungeon Synth. Their 2019 album, A Storm Of Golden Mare And Black Cauldron, released via Non Posse Mori Records, is a singular experience, a hallucinogenic trip through a forest where the line between fairy tales and nightmares is permanently blurred. The journey opens with the delicate, synth-driven Her Rainbow Jacket, providing a deceptive moment of calm before the raw, emotional weight of Kill Myself takes hold. Witches Moon excels at a very specific dream-black sound: utilizing fuzzed-out guitars and buried vocals to create a nostalgic, almost spectral atmosphere. Tracks like Unto This Ground Where Demons Gather and the title track, A Storm Of Golden Mare And Black Cauldron, perfectly capture this balance of occult aggression and whimsical melody. What makes this CD truly unique is its ability to evoke a sense of childhood wonder through a lens of darkness. The transition into Hide Inside This Dream and the hypnotic Try To Contact Faeries showcases the project's heavy Dungeon Synth influence, using vintage-sounding keys to weave a tapestry of forest magic. The album reaches its tranquil, bittersweet conclusion with After The Rain, leaving the listener feeling as though they’ve just woken from a fever dream in a moonlit glade. This CD is a mandatory acquisition for fans of Xasthur, Old Sorcery, Burzum’s atmospheric periods, and the raw-but-melodic underground black metal scene. If you are looking for an album that sounds like a forgotten VHS tape of a dark fantasy film, A Storm Of Golden Mare And Black Cauldron is an essential relic for your collection.
