This isn't half bad. There's an appalling lack of Robert E. Howard-based stuff in metal (outside Manilla Road and Bal-Sagoth), so it's really cool to see something based on "Witch". I can hear the Virgin Steel influence too.
I'm unsure if it's meant to be evocative of the story itself, but I do like the contrast between the sombre, gentle sections and the aggressive guitars, like the contrast between Taramis and Salome. You certainly didn't shame Howard, I'll say that much!
This is basically a demo version of my first tune since I started playing the guitar. Please comment on things you liked or disliked, and tell me what you think.
I've read a handful of Conan stories, and a whole lot of REH's other stuff. Need to read AWSBB. Thanks for the REH tribute!
