Michaś S. "Guzik" Just a super album from these Brazilian guys. They definitely know what doom metal is all about. Also own the physical Divebomb Records reissue on Cd. It includes an additional Pentagram classic cover tune. Favorite track: Tower of the Black Wizard.

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Another one I have listened to so many times from my BC wishlist that I actually thought I had bought it.
Old school doom with clean, gothic style vocals that are a good reminder to a lot of bands out there that you do not need to sound like a demon to convey an atmosphere. Favorite track: Tower of the Black Wizard.

Ewan Ross this is doom of the highest quality. Witching Altar can hang with the best the genre has to offer. Hard to pick a favourite track as the whole album is awesome. The vocals are very haunting but in a good way. Favorite track: Son of the Devil.

Pedro Jungler November 6,2015. On this day i had met my doom. That was the day i aquired this. And as i wrote on the WW lastfm's page, just two days after "a weekend of addiction to these lazy riffs and ominous vocals": Since that day, and after only two,there were at least 10 complete plays of this full lenght. Now i know i'm writting some months late, but since then my ears and brain where doomed for at least 400 times (precisely 437 scrobles on my lastfm account). Caution: WW is incredibly addictive! Favorite track: Dopesmoke.

Frederick Jones This album blew me away from start to finish. But when I heard the crazy guitar riff in Son of the Devil I felt like I was on my way to heaven. This is my favorite release this month. Favorite track: Son of the Devil.

So alone in my crypt Eager for the greatest day Waiting for the time to wake up Those ones who crawl in the dark No one fancy this black old tower The walls that reek of evil power For centuries searching, fueled by hate The (perfect) spell to shatter the human race "Come through the gates Bring all sickness and disgrace Bring the sword of fire To you, Master, I must bow" Once again and you will see The darkest forces now released Arrows falling from the sky This unworthy mankind soon shall die "Come through the gates Bring all sickness and disgrace Raise the Star of Fire To you, Master, I must bow" "Come through the gates Bring all sickness and disgrace The mystick circle is drawn To you, Master, I must bow"

Into the forest at night The coven is meeting again Hoarse chants reach the sky Carrying four magick words Under the sign of Saturn The smell of incense fills the air High trance among the trees Dancing over the pentagram Candles light the black throne Where is seated the old Goat Feasting among offerings of flesh His sarcastic laugh echoes long And then we sign the unholy book With blood and twisted names "To worship and to desecrate" This is the price we pay Under the sight of the Moon The seventh gate is opened now Endless pleasures and carnal lust The orgy is burning with heat from down ALRIGHT! Ride with the Devil when the time is right Obey the horned shape Raise your hand and do His sign Black flame marks the way Follow the Devil through the left paths Without any gloom Reconquer all you've left behind The hour is coming soon TO BE CURSED!

Under rainy night In a golden manger you've born Fruit of a ritual rape Generated within the womb of a whore Death struck the land At the moment of your birth People screamed and wept But even their god was in dearth Fallen angel's prophecy Realized as once was told: "Embraced in purest evil Baptized by water and smoke" To hail the prodigy child Three black wizards came Walking the Sodom's rues To bless the boy with goat face Son of the Devil - Marked with the triple six Vomit all the doom you carry within Son of the Devil - Seated on the Throne of the World Expunge from Earth the Holy Ghost "Oh horned child, thou shalt be king And upon your head a crown of weed!" Son of the Devil - Marked with the triple six Vomit all the doom you carry within Son of the Devil - Seated on the Throne of the World Expunge from Earth the Holy Ghost "Ingrained in sin you know I was born To honor my father and His unholy name Herald of Hell, veins full of dope I know destruction and it starts within"

Don’t be so glad, soon you will be found Back to my chains, with your face on the ground You’ve ran away, but now you’ll see The endless work of the creatures of sleaze The creatures of sleaze! I will show where you truly belong Casting out black spells so strong Your free will must perish among these flames The papers are burning with your stupid name You will be mine again! You will back to my chains! By the Beleth's sigil I summon thee Come from beyond to realize my wish Materialize yourself through holy smoke Go now and bring me back that fuckin’ slut! You will be mine again! You will back to my chains! On you, no self-love shall remain Silly bitch you’ve born to be my slave Save your breath and useless endeavor Your only role is to serve me forever

When the Will begins to fade And we face the last spark of life Breathing through these senseless days Did you ever felt this lost? Emptiness erodes our veins As in silence we gaze at the sky Offering to Nothingness one last pray Beholding the meaningless time Then we close our eyes And we are alone one more night In solitude again The most peaceful friend Overshadowed by true Nature As we receive its blow In every single flow Its beauty suffocates, my dear... All the burden of this static daze Lies within our own broken hearts Engraved in all those awful mistakes Pain, regret, grief and thoughts So everything dies The world digs our tomb Buried in a parched womb I hope we meet at the end...

Dopesmoke 04:38
My body is floating into the cosmic space Got pure slumber running inside my veins Lost, I'm diving into a savage trip To bow before the gods of weed I'm faint, I'm dizzy. I'm falling on my knees I got my vision burning in THC I love to be completed with this sensation To feel the world whirling under my feet Long haired bastard getting stoned to the bone My only reason rests inside of a bong Oh baby, please, don't get mad at me, I just can't live without it Escape from that pipe and penetrate my lungs I'm getting higher, higher and higher, oh yeah! Lethargy embraces my brain and fills my blood I want you overflowing my head, dopesmoke! I want to play and get high all the time For sure this is a great way to die Magick infusion to break all the rules Slows everything and it feels so cool All is turned off, I got nothing to care Life seems more fun while I'm holding my breath Mystick infusion to remove all the grieves Forget the problems - fire on the leaves! So light it up and c'mon! Escape from the pipe and penetrate my lungs I'm getting higher and higher and higher, oh yeah! Lethargy embraces my brain and fills my blood I want you to take over my head, dopesmoke!

about

This is the very first Witching Altar recorded material, back in the time when the project started.

Recorded since 2012, this release waited three long years to see the light of the day. Finally, due to the efforts of some interested Brazilian labels it seems that the time is right to "Ride with the Devil" be vomited upon this doomed existence!

The album brings seven authorial tracks (some of them already released in other versions) plus two homages to great Doom Metal barons.

- CD version is a common effort of the following Brazilian labels: Soul Erazer, TheMetalVox, Nuktemeron and Odicelaf;
- Pro Tape version via Catamaran Discos (Brazil).

Release dates soon!
