Most new bands do not pay attention to the essence of metal music, especially those who perform progressive styles, as I feel that they are trying as much as possible to bring out their full energy and musical potential in their latest release, but with Marzy Maddox the situation is completely different, why? Read on to find out why.
“With unforgettable lyrics and addictive melodies, the music is percipient, experimental, and relentless.” according to the band own words this summarize their work, and I believe they implement this vision perfectly! When I received “The Witch” I was really amazed by the harmonic melodies over catchy rhythmic riffs, along with powerful and rich vocals. Besides this when you hit the chorus, it’s like they are taking you to a whole new level of harmonies and incredible tightness among the three of them. Well, I believe nothing is better than their own words to describe the lyrics meaning: “This song is heavily influenced by the band’s love for the macabre,” says vocalist/guitarist Phoenix Johnson. “Taking inspiration from works such as ‘The Crucible’ and ‘The Witch’ (2015), the song’s namesake, the lyrics explore humanities constant struggle with belief and the atrocities it can lead us to commit. Although our modern world can be a lot more forgiving at times there are still those who don’t want to be constrained by societal and cultural norms just like yesterday ‘Witches’ and are ostracized for it by those who view it as ‘wrong’ or ‘sinful’.”
