In the celestial tapestry of doom metal, the split release from Asteroid Witch and Greenseeker serves as a cosmic junction, inviting listeners into a hypnotic dance between the astral and earthly realms. Released on November 3 through Electric Valley Records, this collaboration is a transcendental journey.
Asteroid Witch emerges from the depths of a distant black hole, serving as a conduit for celestial Demi-Gods. The cosmic signals they transmit through their music feel like a voyage through the universe. The ethereal riffs and pulsating rhythms create an immersive experience, capturing the weight of collapsing stars and the mysteries hidden within the cosmic void. As I listen, I find myself transported to the outer reaches of the cosmos, exploring the unknown with each transcendent note.
On the other end of the spectrum, Greenseeker pays homage to psychedelic proto-metal giants while carving out their own niche. Their music, grounded in classic riffs and mystical lyrics, tells tales of curses and jealousy, providing an earthly counterpoint to Asteroid Witch’s astral exploration. The softly-meandering to rolling thunder range of Greenseeker’s tracks brings balance to the cosmic collaboration. I’m drawn into their sonic spells, feeling a gravitational pull that anchors the ethereal sounds in earthly narratives.
Together, Asteroid Witch and Greenseeker achieve a cosmic fusion that goes beyond the sum of its parts. This split release is a celestial convergence, a dance between the unknown and the familiar. As I immerse myself in the sonic landscape they’ve created, I sense a profound connection to the mysteries of the universe. Celestial Fusion is a personal exploration, an invitation to embark on a journey where the boundaries between reality and the astral plane dissolve, leaving only the enchanting resonance of two cosmic forces in harmony.
