The Ghoulish Gathering
The time has come again to gather and imbibe
Communal poisoning we need it to survive
Our eyes glow brightly as the tar begins to flow
The salt of death has left us withered and exposed
Withered and exposed
We're rotting from the inside out
Like the petals from a rose
Your years were torn away
The darkness nurtures us until we are reborn
The sun creeps up again to reveal our true form
Grotesque reflections force us back into the cracks
Await the hour when the mirrors are all black
The mirrors are all black
We're rotting from the inside out
Like the petals from a rose
Your years were torn away
The time has come again to gather and imbibe
Communal poisoning we need it to survive
Our eyes glow brightly as the tar begins to flow
The ghoulish gathering is all we've ever known
It's all we've ever known
We're rotting from the inside out
Like the petals from a rose
Your years were torn away

If you like a mix of NWOBHM and classic Doom, you should take purchase this disc by very quickly!! Classic Doom in a 70s guise with cool breaks and NWOBHM melodies. I think Pentagram, Magic Circle or Pagan Altar fit here perfectly as comparison. Stephan

Allow me to copy Pagan Altar's third album title to describe not only III:Pentecost but the whole discography of Wytch Hazel so far: well, yes, it's Magical and Mythical!!! A must-have for the lovers of 70's hard sound revival. BoneWalker

OMG, late to the party but this is some of the best occult infused doom stoner tackle I've ever heard. Reference points include Sabbath (obvs), especially with the Ozzy-esque vocals but there's also the melodiousness of early Heep mixing with a more contemporary occult rock sound. It starts in the 70's and makes it to the present day. The riffs are huge but it's their way with a hook that elevates this from your average doom/stoner fare. Very wonderful indeed! egg-magoo
