ALL THEM WITCHES have always been A seminal bandThe synesthetic worldof neo-psychedelia, consistently toting with themA tempestuous styleof blues bleeding into hard rock, despite their desireTo steer clearof any genre conformation.
On their sixth album " Nothing As The Ideal ", ALL THEM WITCHESThe likesof Kyuss and Tool as they enhance their inimitable guitar-ledSoundOn theirsFirst studio recording asA trio, all The connectingToA metaphysical realm in their quieter moments.

Enlisting The Helpof producer Mikey Allred, who helped finesseThe primal and meditative"Dying Surfer MeetsHIS Maker", afterTheband locked themselves in A cabinFORA few daysTo jam until they find inspiration,ALL THEM WITCHES tookToThe illustrious Abbeyroad Studios in order To create their most devastatingly progressive and expansive oeuvre. " Nothing As The Ideal " stands as AThe enchanting storytellingof "Lightning At The Door "withThe unrelenting cerebral assaultof ATW.

Following On FromThe disconcerting “Enemyof My Enemy” which seesThe most relentless, feral and rapacious guitar riffs thatALL THEM WITCHES have daredTo unleashOn The listener. Creating A vortex that nauseatingly grapples at YouThe song drawsToA close, it becomes quickAPPARENT that it is non-sensitiveTo believe thatThe band isWithout any other tricks up their sleevesFrom this point onwards – "Nothing As The Ideal " isA sonic pendulum that oscillates through every elementof their back catalogue, and then some.

Throughout The onslaught ofYou Next Fall” and “Lights Out” showcaseALL THEM WITCHES as mastersof inception whereA smog-like wallof feedback and reverb subconsciously drawsYou into an entirely new song, and back again. It's only when You find yourself revelling in Theof what happenedToYou alongThe journey, thatYou realize something was amiss. Parks' swampy bass often ripples along The murky surface as AA hypnotic, undulating litany that serves as residueFrom their mastery in illusion.

Throughout The album there are snippets ofTheLive recording process that they explored at Abbeyroad Studios, addingToThe organic explorationof it all. The beginning of “41” is AofA tape reel clicking into action before winding backward intoA gargantuan harmonic guitar and bass riff which conjuresA searing airof paranoia before erupting intoA biting bass line that Tom Araya would be proud of ; meanwhileThe muted vocalsof “Rats in Ruin” makes it feel as thoughYou 're standing inTheROOM withThe trio.

After four and A half minutes ofThe guitars are left ringing out inA reverb-soaked lucid dream beforeYou hearThe organic timbreof someone ambling aroundA ROOM . All of AThe guitar amps get switchedOn andYou 're watchingThe assimilationof something nebulous, yet clearof importance.

Perhaps this is an encapsulation of Aband reachingThe pinnacleof their recording careers or perhaps it is simpleThe releaseof pressureFrom recording in such A historical place. McLeod's guitar sings out in A rapturous, euphoric purging whilst drummer Robby Staebler solidifies HISThe glue that binds everything together. With each musician being undoubtedly proficient in their craft and able To create with AThe song further cementsThe fact thatALL THEM WITCHES are through and through an extraordinary rockband , and "Nothing IsThe "Ideal" is their greatest achievementTo date.
