Witch's Hat - Mastery of the Steel
Reviewed by mike
“We are heroes to the rescue,” sings Witch’s Hat frontman Greg Linde during “Bomb Squad,” the opening track off the band’s debut album, Mastery of the Steel. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem anyone rode in on a white horse to salvage this record. While it’s perfectly justifiable to utilize fantastic elements to convey a thematic or dramatic experience, and while their over-the-top alterna-punk above the occasional dance groove is technically proficient, the majority of the songs fall flat, making them sound like a band that should be playing at Medieval Times.
