Wight is a
new German trio that plays total 70s style rock with a Sabbathy side to them
and they like long tracks. There are only a total of 6 tracks on this LP + 7”.
I got lucky to get one of the 200 copies on red vinyl with the 7”. Side A
starts off with the instrumental Cosmic Rhythm #1 which starts slowly with some
bells and the guitar slowly enters with a heavy riff that is repeated over and
over for a while before the track really takes off with some killer guitar
soloing to take it to a whole new level with a great mix of guitars in both
channels. All beyond the Piend of Being is next and this is a long very early
Black Sabbath inspired track (to start), like something from the first record,
with some very passionate singing and cool spacey wah guitar and later on the
band space out a bit more with some cool delay guitar stuff. Very cool song. Flip
the record over and you start with Let me know when you found GOD, which starts
with a slow heavy riff like something like early Count Raven or Black Sabbath.
There is even a guitar solo only section a bit like the Warning. Cool… The title track features some intense wah
guitar as it slowly build up in intensity again with some great layered guitars
in both channels. A great debut record. For those who get the first press you
will also get the 7” record with two tracks (it plays on 33 rpm). The first one
Shawman Woman, has a very intense vocal but is also a damn cool track and
reminds me a bit of Dzjeghis Khan. Hammer Boogie is a pretty cool blues rocker and
reminds me of 
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
