Quick-fire round-up of the last couple weeks’ best bandcamp investments…
nightwitches – Nachthexen
Self-released, 2015
If you just can’t get enough of that falling-in-your-dreams
feeling then nightwitches‘ debut is the E.P. for you. Hypnotic fuzz, swathed in soporific, ghostly vocals characterise this Québécois doom two-piece. First song Claws & Teeth undulates over seven trace-inducing minutes before the heavyweight Pale Grey jolts the senses back to bleak reality. A heady and abstruse coupling of debut tracks (8/10).
Highlight: Claws & Teeth, Pale Grey

Accelerator – When The World Turns Black E.P.
Self-released, 2015
You want your thrash fast, ferocious and square in the face? Well here it is. A 
little bitta Kreator with a whole lotta Slayer, this debut EP from Long Island, NY’s Accelerator may not be paving any new ground but it certainly rams the rest off the beaten track.
Opening with a title track that’s straight down to business, the accusatory chorus imprints itself on the brain, as does the self-explanatory Thrash ‘Til Death and the, comparatively, mid-paced riffing of Killing Machine. Neck-damaging thrash with the pedal to the floor (7/10).
Highlight: When The World Turns Black
