about

The Kill(s)witch story(follow along with the song for the best experience):

Our story starts with a farmer based in the rural New England area outside of Salem, Massachusetts. After his wife is sentenced to death with his unborn child under the accusation of being a witch, he lives a solitary life full of resentment toward the Salem people. From the beginning of the song to .30, we take a look into his mind and self-destruction through alcohol abuse.

.30 – .55: the farmer cannot tell the difference between nightmares and reality as his wife continuously appears to him as a deformed witch with rotting flesh, haunting him from the grave.

.55 – 1.18: the farmer fights with these delusions and nightmares, trying to forgive himself and live a normal life. He goes back to work tending to the fields and caring for his animals, only to fall back into his self-destructive behavior from 1.18 – 1.45. As we progress through the song to 1.46 – 2.23, we see the man looking back on better days with his wife and his town before madness took over everyone’s minds, until he falls unconscious in a drunken stupor outside the home he recently built.

2.24 – 3.04: the farmer awakes to the horror of his animals slaughtered and eviscerated throughout his farm. He finds a strange symbol written in blood on a rock towards the edge of his land. He journeys into the woods to find who, or what, is responsible. After what seems like hours of traveling, he reaches what appears to be an abandoned house. As he enters the house, he sees the woman that had appeared to him in his nightmares. Frozen by fear he gazes upon the woman, unsure of what she is or what he can possibly do next. Snapping himself out of his fear-stricken daze, he turns to flee, but is struck from behind, causing him to blackout and collapse on the floor.

3.05 – 3.28: the farmer awakens to what appears and feels to be heaven. He sees a woman approaching him and she nears, he recognizes her as his wife. She is holding his unborn child, now a small infant. They embrace one another for an all-too-brief moment before she grants him the strength to return to his world and face the demon that’s been terrorizing him.

3.28 – 3.45: back in his own world, the farmer stands to his feet and faces the witch. She tears him down again and again until he has no energy left to fight her.
3.45 – 4.02: the farmer reflects one last time on his dead family as he feels a strange lump in his jacket pocket. He stands up and pulls out a crucifix dagger that his wife had put there before he left her in the heaven-like plane. Catching the witch off-guard, he charges her, takes her to the floor, and thrusts the crucifix through her chest.

4.02 – end: the farmer returns home after burning the witch’s body to find his animals alive and well. He pours a drink and reflects on his battle with the witch, his family, and his home when there’s a soft knock at the door…

When your instrumental metal's chug chugga chug chugs arent heavy enough, here comes Fractalize with an amazing style of music that i can only describe as rhytmic earthquakes. More like chug. chak-chak. chug chugaa CHOOM Chak CHOOM. Each song is an intense conflict taking place deep underground in the darkest, dankest cave, with interesting progression of one musical idea to another. iheartf2p

Immersion

Intense and interesting. Clearly worshipping at the altar of Meshuggah, and while vocals are absent that void is filled by a more intense bottom end, and guitar picking that becomes its own rhythmic instrument. This is brilliant, but I’d love to see what this guy would do with some artistic collaboration. One man bands can get stuck in one dimension and the potential shown here could be a global phenomenon with just a little tweaking. Let me finish by saying again, this is brilliant. Lute FP
