\nNearly three decades of American heavy metal are packed into \u201cBest Of The Witch\u201d, a 27-track career-spanning collection personally assembled by guitarist Jack Frost. Fully remastered, the set runs from the band\u2019s early power-metal fire to darker, heavier later material without losing that unmistakable SEVEN WITCHES steel.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Formed in 1998, SEVEN WITCHES became one of those bands that never needed fashion to tell them what heavy metal should sound like. Jack Frost remained the constant through a rotating cast of strong vocalists including Bobby Lucas, Wade Black, James Rivera and Alan Tecchio, while the music moved between traditional heavy metal, US power metal and sharper melodic hard rock.<\/p>\n
Disc One leans heavily into the band\u2019s formative years. \u201cSecond War In Heaven\u201d, \u201cCamelot\u201d, \u201cThe Answer\u201d and \u201cAtlantis\u201d carry that classic American power-metal attack, all sharp guitars, big choruses and a slightly darker edge than the European school.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Burning\u201d is one of the obvious highlights, with Jon Oliva bringing his unmistakable voice into the mix. It fits SEVEN WITCHES perfectly \u2014 theatrical without becoming bloated, melodic without losing weight.<\/p>\n
\u201cPassage To The Other Side\u201d, \u201cMental Messiah\u201d and \u201cMetal Asylum\u201d show how the band gradually thickened its sound, while \u201cIf You Were God\u201d and \u201cDishonor Killings\u201d bring more grit and a heavier emotional tone into the set.<\/p>\n
Disc Two keeps moving through the catalogue with \u201cFields Of Fire\u201d, \u201cEnd Of Days\u201d and \u201cClaustrophobic (No Way Out)\u201d, before \u201cNightmare Man\u201d and \u201cThe Way Of The Wicked\u201d push into darker territory.<\/p>\n
The final stretch adds a few curveballs. \u201cAlien Nation\u201d, \u201cMonsterman\u201d and \u201cWidowmaker\u201d sit beside covers of DIO\u2019s \u201cShame On The Night\u201d, TWISTED SISTER\u2019s \u201cShoot \u2019Em Down\u201d, SCORPIONS\u2019 \u201cRock You Like A Hurricane\u201d and JUDAS PRIEST\u2019s version of \u201cDiamonds And Rust\u201d.<\/p>\n
What makes \u201cBest Of The Witch\u201d work is that it does not feel like a random label-generated playlist. Frost clearly treated it as a map of the band\u2019s history, pulling material from different eras and lineups while keeping the flow focused on the songs that best represent what SEVEN WITCHES were always about: riffs first, melody close behind, and no shame in flying the heavy-metal flag high.<\/p>\n
