This is incredible classic sounding metal with deep Sabbathian riffery; I’ve listened to the shit out of it the last few months. Everything is clear and powerful and all that metal aspires to be, singing appropriately aggressive, pained, badass.

Quel album phénoménal ! Quelle progression par rapport au déjà excellent "Messe pour un chien" ! On est ici plus dans le doom trad. Les riffs accrocheurs et carnassiers méritent pleinement leur statut de "saint" et "rédempteur". Les paroles sont à la fois désespérées et d'une très drôle ironie. Les touches de clavier apportent également beaucoup. Ne passez pas à côté de ce disque !!
Don't miss this phenomenal album! Doom in all its power and desperate irony!
Favorite track: La Valse Funèbre.
The Doom Loom
This is traditional Doom at its best!! It is reassuring that the old style still lives on in bands like Barabbas. This is would a tremendous set to see live as well.

Is only pain and tears,
When the night
Threatens your soul...»
It is time to open the gates of BARABBAS’s Holy Redemption riff and find solace, tranquility and joy (not to mention irreversible tinnitus).
"Redemption through headbanging": this is, since 2007, the credo of BARABBAS who preached their music as the Holy Trinity of Doom Metal (Black Sabbath, Saint Vitus, Cathedral).
After a great EP in 2011 ("Libérez Barabbas"), and a first album ("Messe pour un chien", 2014) hailed by the critics in France and abroad, BARABBAS reaffirms its faith in the almighty power of the Riff with "La Mort appelle tous les Vivants": a new ode to pessimism recorded by Andrew Guillotin (Monolithe, Mauvaise Foi, Arkhon Infaustus, Grist, Clégane...) at Hybreed Studio, that will be released in December 2022 on Sleeping Church Records.
December will also see BARABBAS on the dooming road to preach his faith to the Holy Riff through many performances on stage. A domain he knows well for having gigged with Lord Vicar, Apostle of Solitude, Goatess... and shared the stage, in clubs and festivals (Fall of Summer, Motocultor, Samaïn Fest, Mennecy Metal Fest, Malta Doom Metal Fest, Northern Discomfort... ) with Misanthrope, The Wounded Kings, Huata, Windhand, The Bottle Doom Lazy Band, Ataraxie, Pilgrim, Isole, Marche funèbre, Conviction, Stonebirds, Mars Red Sky, Abysmal Grief, Lofofora. ..
In the name of Ampere,
Riff and Saint Iommi,
Bring it on !
JOIN THE CHURCH OF THE HOLY REDEMPTION RIFF!

Allow me to copy Pagan Altar's third album title to describe not only III:Pentecost but the whole discography of Wytch Hazel so far: well, yes, it's Magical and Mythical!!! A must-have for the lovers of 70's hard sound revival. BoneWalker

What a beautiful, haunting experience all around, always melts me from start to finish. Incredible and deep sound, amazing atmosphere and cohesion, unexpected jazz elements unlike anything I've heard, and don't get me started on the vocals. Really hard to choose a favorite track. dan-rod

Fav: Burceau. Trad metal is like Sabbathian stoner; everyone loves it so much that there are a billion bands devoted to it, and that means a lot of samey. You really need some spice to stand out. Herzel have that spicy secret sauce. Everyone can do a galloping line, but is it adventurous? Unexpected melodic turns like turning a cobbled street corner to see a mighty vista? Soaring lines that stir your blood? Extra points for whatever that horn/brass instrument was, it fit right in. Hail Herzel! pinkytheent
