Here is some press on South Of Salem:
“First of all, South of Salem is the best-sounding metal record of 2011. Witch Mountain’s first record in a decade was absolutely made for vinyl and the mastering favors a rich, round ring that demands a vintage pair of speakers. Nothing flashy here, just a great live-in-the-room sound. Second of all, few can match vocalist Uta Plotkin’s raw soul, a gut-level howl that can just as easily turn into a sinister coo. Finally, those massive, rumbling doom riffs aren’t just there to get your slow-motion headbang on (well, they’re good for that, too), those riffs want to bore into your skull, crack open a beer and make you a lifer..” – NPR.org
“…an unyielding force that slowly oozes out of the speakers, carrying jagged riffs and trudging rhythms that stretch on for upward of 12 minutes per song. It’s not hyperbolic in the least to tag the album as “epic.” – Willamette Week
“South of Salem incorporates the band’s intensely dosed musical madness with the enchanting fury of Plotkin’s vocals that, for lack of any better word, are simply bewitching.” – Portland Mercury
“…punishing slabs of phlegmatic, groove laden grunge lying cheek to jowl with some beautifully light headed moments in the vein of classic Sabbath and especially Welsh rockers, Budgie.” – Terrorizer
