Pece - lead vocals, guitar
Wit became a fact when drummer Johan, (usually a
fulltime member of Debase and The Drugs) joined the
band. This demo contains three really strong songs.
They play 70’s influenced hard rock, and they have
some major similarities with Thin Lizzy despite the
fact that they only have one guitarist, so there’ll
be no twin guitar play a la Lizzy I presume. Pece
also has some big similarities with Phil Lynott voice
wise.
The production is not bad at all, unfortunately I
don’t have any information on where they have
recorded the demo, I don’t have any info about who
has written the music/lyrics either.
The first song "Demonic" is a real 70’s hard rock
track with some hints of blues all through the song.
The only minor thing on that song is the chorus is
done by the rest of the group; it sounds way to thin
in my opinion. There’s a lot of guitar on top of the
mix.
"Wicked Witch", is a hard rock track very influenced
by the big 70’s bands like Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy
and Status Quo. Very impressive guitar playing and a
lot of tempo changes through all three songs. All of
the three are also really competent musicians. "I’m
Coming Home" sounds incredible, a lot like Thin Lizzy
despite that they only have one guitarist.
This sounds really strong all the way. Wit sure has
the potential to go really far in the future. My
personal favourite is "I’m Coming Home". Even though
they all are big fans and influenced by Thin Lizzy,
they have managed to create their own sound.
