Witching Hour are a band from Germany that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording played a mixture of black and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2009 album "Rise Of The Desecrated" which will be re-issued in March, 2026 by Dying Victims Productions.
A very distorted sound starts off the album before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction while blast beats are added into the faster sections of the songs. Elements of thrash metal are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording and the vocals are done in more of a first wave black metal style.
Most of the music is very heavily rooted in the 80's era while also being very heavily influenced by the Teutonic style of that era. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also remain very true to an old school style along with the whole album also sticking to a heavier musical direction.
On this recording Witching Hour took first wave black metal and mixes it with Teutonic thrash metal to create a very heavy and aggressive album. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Satanism, Luciferian, Occultism, Blasphemy, War, Murder and Violence themes.
In my opinion this was another great sounding recording from Witching Hour and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Rise of The Desecrated" "Unholy Alliance" and "Cold Grave'. 8 out of 10.
