The Witch Trials EP Bangers Mash Ups – A Chaotic, Genre-Bending Riot from Ireland
Alright, let’s talk about The Witch Trials EP Bangers Mash Ups by The Witch Trials. This thing is like a Frankenstein monster stitched together from rock, hip-hop, indie vibes, and enough psychedelia to make your head spin. It’s raw, unfiltered, and kinda feels like they threw everything at the wall just to see what stuck. Spoiler: most of it does.
First off, this isn’t some polished studio masterpiece—hell no. It’s rough around the edges, self-released under "Not On Label," which tells you these guys are doing their own damn thing. And honestly? That’s what makes it hit so hard. They’re out here blending genres like Indie Rock, Psychedelic Rock, and even dipping into Trip Hop without giving a flying f if it fits neatly in a box. Spoiler again: it doesn’t. But who cares when it sounds this wild?
Let me break down two tracks that’ll stick in your brain like gum on a hot sidewalk:
1. "Get Down In The Hall Of The Mountain King"
Oh, you thought you knew where this was going based on the name? Wrong. This track grabs Grieg’s classical banger and absolutely guts it, turning it into something unhinged and filthy. Imagine heavy guitar riffs smashing face-first into glitchy beats while someone whispers creepy sht in the background. By the time the bass kicks in, you’re either headbanging or questioning every life choice that led you here. Either way, mission accomplished.
2. "Stairway To Insomnia"
If Led Zeppelin got abducted by aliens and force-fed hallucinogens, this might be the result. The song starts slow, almost dreamy, but then spirals into chaos with layers of distorted vocals and echoing synths. You can practically feel your brain melting as it builds toward this chaotic crescendo. I don’t know how they pulled it off, but it’s one of those songs that stays lodged in your skull for days. Annoying? Maybe. Genius? Definitely.
Look, not every track lands perfectly. Some moments are messy as hell (ahem, “Cat Groove”), but that’s part of the charm. These Irish lunatics aren’t trying to win Grammy awards—they’re making music for people who want something weird, loud, and unforgettable.
And yeah, sure, there’s plenty of better-produced albums out there, but none of them will leave you feeling like you just survived a fever dream. So crank up the volume, embrace the chaos, and remember: sometimes the best art comes from breaking all the rules.
Final thought? If this album had a face, it’d probably punch you in yours. Love it or hate it, you won’t forget it. Now go listen before I change my mind and tell you to delete Spotify forever.
