The epic end-point for doom metal, Burning Witch’s second and final album Rift. Canyon. Dreams stands as the apex of all possible outcomes for Black Sabbath-derived music. Long passages of minimal percussion and droning voltage presage guitarist O’Malley’s next project Sunn O))), a band whose megalithic occult sound rituals were the only possible progression from here. This definitive 5-song version of Rift. Canyon. Dreams was released in Japan by Daymare Recordings.
