WITCH - "Queenless King"

2021 saw the reunion of Zamrock legends WITCH (We Intend to Cause Havoc) and 2023 saw the release of their first album in almost forty years, Zango. Now, they're once again back with new music. "Queenless King" sees WITCH infusing their Zamrock sound with more of a garage-psych sound. The song is endlessly captivating and has an undeniable energy. It's both a fuzzed out rock song and a classic psychedelic Zamrock showcase. The best part is that it truly sounds like a lost recording from the 70's. They even managed to get that gritty recording style that modern bands try all sorts of digital tricks to achieve. "Queenless King" shows that Zango wasn't just a one-off, and WITCH are back to bring us more great music.

Jagari (lead vocals) says of the band's upcoming album:

“‘SOGOLO’ means front or future. It is the future of a team with hope, peace, love; we’re wearing smiles, we march and dance to criss-cross rhythms. Let’s go friends, let’s go guys – ‘SOGOLO’ in unity”
