Description
LP limited edition of 500, in a gatefold sleeve, printed inner bag with full download included, 250 in cherry red and 250 in sea foam green. CD 5 panel fold out with an alternative take on the LP design. Y Proffwyd Dwyll is once again produced by Chris (Conan) Fielding, and is without doubt a whopping great slab of heaviness. Though MWWB may share sonic alliances with likes of Conan, Windhand and Yob, the many who tuned into their impressive debut have discovered they dont stick to the usual tropes, and are a unique proposition, with a sound all their own. Down-tuned to Z, the guitar tone is tar thick and the riffs massive and full of hooks ... of course. But with the soaring, multi textured vocals of Jessica Ball, they have added an extra dimension to whats considered doom. Its a combination which sounds at times startling and often beautiful. Like if Liz Fraser had fronted Kyuss or Sleep ... Theres nothing approaching the 30 minute epic of their debuts Nachthexen (though these six tracks all clock in around the eight or nine minute mark) but the arrangements are tighter and the vocal elements are considerably upped. Add to that a smattering of cello, some swirling moog wig outs, and you have a record that also invokes Hawkwinds cosmic synthscapes, as well as a nod to the John Carpenter soundtracks that the band love. TRACKLIST: Side 1 Valmasque, Gallego, Y Proffwyd Dwyll. Side 2 Testudo, Osirian, Cithuula.
