Apparently the Swedish had rec rooms and big, airbrushed vans in the 70s, too. At least, that's the impression one gets from listening to Witchcraft's THE ALCHEMIST. The band clearly worships at the altar of Sabbath and lesser American deity Pentagram, sharing both acts' penchant for down-tuned, bluesy heaviness. While their previous two albums were basically pitch-perfect period pieces of 1970 proto-doom metal, however, THE ALCHEMIST shows them stretching out ever so slightly to avoid the inevitable pigeonholing that could occur. Aspects of garage rock and potent strains of psychedelia run through songs like the otherwise metallic "If Crimson Was Your Colour," and opener "Walk Between the Lines" is cleaned up enough to pass for radio-ready power pop. That's not to say these guys have abandoned their bell-bottoms just yet. Both "Leva" and the molasses-slow "Hey Doctor" are classic bong-smoked hard rock.
2007 release of the third album from the Swedish band, who move away from the doom-rock tag into more adventurous zones with this release. Their brand of heaviness is more of a soulful feeling than a simple gnarly roar. Check out the addictive melodies that flow simultaneously with crushingly heavy riffs, while remarkably managing to maintain a relaxed and laid-back feel throughout.Kerrang (Magazine) (p.58) - "[S]low burning old-school metal, played at casual pace...[and] complete with protracted, dreamlike psychedelia."

$13.69
Dutch pomp-metal band Epica, fronted by classically trained mezzo-soprano Simone Simons, released their second album for Nuclear Blast only a year after their label debut, the more unique The Classical Conspiracy. That two-disc live set found them performing a mix of classical works and their own songs with backing by a full orchestra and choir. This album offers more of their bombastic goth metal songs, with Simons' vocals floating atop an ever flowing stream of complicated drumming, epic riffs, and shredtastic solos. The use of orchestral instruments to add John Williams-like climaxes is intermittently successful, but the music is just as frequently stripped down to an unaccompanied piano or to just the rock band, and that works, too. The very occasional interruption of male death growls is less necessary; frankly, the band should just let Simons do her Sarah Brightman-esque thing and keep the riffs cranking behind her. If you like this sort of thing (Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, After ...
| | Tool Aenima CD (1996) (Import) Germany
Alchemist songs
$11.55 
AENIMA was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Recording Package. "Aenima" won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.
On its second full-length album, this hard-rocking quartet delivers 15 tracks of unrelenting aggression and focused intensity. Rather than overwhelm with huge sonic washes of guitar and booming drums, Tool employs a propulsive, snaky approach that makes use of undulating rhythms and clipped, percussive guitar riffs. Maynard James Keenan's vocals follow suit, opting for a heavily processed slow burn instead of the post-grunge bellow favored by so many hard-rock bands. Instead of flailing uncontrollably in all directions, the group's raw, energetic sound is tightly directed for maximum impact.
On songs like "Stinkfist," Keenan rails against injustice while the band churns mercilessly behind him. There is very little humor or light in Tool's worldview (except for song titles like "Hooker With A Penis"); these are songs of painstakingly articulated angst, and they are delivered in an earnest, deadpan manner. These fierce rockers are dead set on making their point, and make it they do, with all the bloodshed and carnage that entails.

| | Dream Theater Falling Into Infinity CD (1997)
Alchemist album
$9.29 
Dream Theater's specialty is atmospheric metal, at times heavy, at times sinister, with a sharp techno edge. "New Millennium," the disc's opening cut, defines the sound: ringing guitars, a driving beat, start-stop dynamics and rolling drum crescendos. There's a bit of a Rush influence at work here, as well as ELP and even some Metallica. "Hollow Years" is a quieter track, replete with gentle acoustic guitar, soothing vocals and an inspirational theme about the lifting of old curses and the possibility for redemption. Lead singer James LaBrie has a slightly nasal, but otherwise pleasing modern pop/metal vocal attack, which he exercises with passion throughout. If you like your metal melodic and even, at times, introspective, you should enjoy a visit to this Dream Theater.
Recorded at Avatar Studios, New York, New York in June & July 1997.

| | Kim Wright Everyday That Scares You CD (2006)
Alchemist CD music
$10.15
Powerhouse vocals, catchy pop-rock songwriting, and an attitude to boot! Kim dishes her dirt for you straight up with her 2004 indie debut, "Everyday That Scares You".The emotionally charged ten song disc varies from the powerfully hard-hitting "Girlfriend", to the sultry sweet "Hello Angel"; the sullen intensity of "How Do I Feel", to the purely stuck-in-your-head unforgettable "Tired of Floating". Elements of loss and abandonment are intertwined throughout the disc with the theme of letting go, moving on, and not being afraid. Unedited, unabashed, and refusing to keep anything to herself, Kim confesses making this record was by far the scariest thing she has ever done, saying, "...it's very much like allowing the world to read my private diary."***PRESS***WINNIPEG SUN--Local CDs ReviewedKim Wright--Everyday That Scares YouWHERE YOU'LL FIND HER: In front of a Marshall stack, with her foot up on the monitor. FILE UNDER: Grrrl power -- heavy on the power. LOWDOWN: With her crimson tresses and ethereal looks, Kim Wright looks like she's about to serenade you a la Tori Amos. That is, until she cranks up her amp, rips into a power-chord riff, opens wide and rocks you like Courtney Love (minus the skank factor) on Troy, the first cut on Everyday That Scares You. Even better, she keeps up the butt-kicking and name-taking for much of this 10-track disc... ...once Wright comes up with a few more songs as powerful as she is, she'll really be scary. ***1/2 out of *****-Darryl Sterdan, Winnipeg Sun, April 30, 2004 WINNIPEG FREE PRESS--Sounds of the Best Indies Kim Wright--Everyday That Scares YouMelodic guitar-rock by Winnipeg songwriter and vocalist Wright, whose range extends from the alternarock sneer of Garbage's Shirley Manson to the compressed, ...
