Thanks. Then would you mind featuring me in your signature?


Nah, not quite sig worthy enough tbh. Only something outrageously funny or supremely brain dead would merit that and while yours is a decent attempt it doesn't quite make the cut in either category.

You still didn't answer his question. There is no real way to break an album like this up into tracks, you'd essentially be picking arbitrary starting and ending points for each "track". The album is meant to be experienced as a whole and not cut up into segments. Bell Witch aren't going to change that because some people might have short attention spans. Funeral doom isn't a genre for the impatient, it is what it is.


I don't understand why you people are melting down over a Bell Witch song. I have a job. I work out. Those fucking hippies can cram it up their ass if they think I have 80 minutes every time I want to hear a song.

I like what you wrote there, though - the part about arbitrarily breaking up the song into tracks. That's what I want. And you unemployed druggies can listen all the way through if you want, or I can skip from track to track as time permits. Everybody is happy that way.


You are a sad embarrassing little man and you contribute nothing worthwhile. Off to the block list you go cretin.

Is this like Ambient Doom Metal? I could get into that. Sometimes I like to to put on ambient music in the car to get in a state of mind that is positive and calm.

I'm still waiting for a "Thus Spoke GreatWhiteSnake". Go on, I know you want to.

I don't really know Ambient Doom as a genre, but I think that's a fair description of Bell Witch's sound. But you know, that one 80 minute track thing could be a problem in the car. I guess you could play it through, but if you switch to something else, you're giong to have an issue there of always listening to the beginning of the track and never making it to the end.

They should have split it up into multiple tracks like the last album. That was much more accessible.

The last album was split up into tracks for the physical release because it was too long to fit on a single CD or LP. The digital version was still a single song.

I'm talking about Stygian Bough Volume I (2020) which had 5 digital tracks, not Mirror Reaper (2017) which had one digital track.

The new Bell Witch is overwrought and cumbersome, a failed attempt at Mirror Reaper II.

They should have mixed it up with some snappy choruses or something in the second half. Maybe brought in some electronics.
