Closet Witch - Ergot Black Salt

Review by Shannon Bentley

Ergot Black Salt, the latest album from the punk band Closet Witch, is a raw and intense experience that showcases the band's ferocious energy and uncompromising attitude. From the opening track, "Wound," with its pounding drums and scorching guitar riffs, to the closing song, "Suffocate," the band never lets up, delivering a relentless barrage of noise and aggression.

The vocals of Mollie Piatetsky are a standout feature of the album, with her screams and shouts conveying a sense of desperation and anger that perfectly matches the intensity of the music. The lyrics are also a highlight, addressing topics such as mental health, societal expectations, and personal struggles with a raw and honest approach.

Despite the overwhelming heaviness of the music, there are moments of melody and even beauty to be found on Ergot Black Salt. The instrumental track "Grief Lexicon" is a haunting interlude that showcases the band's ability to create atmosphere and mood, while "Hivemind" features a soaring chorus that is sure to become a fan favorite.
