Attention headbanger, WITCHTRAP is back!! Brand new full length studio album of dirty fucking thrash from Colombia!
Four years have passed since the last megawatt devastation "Sorceress Bitch", too much time for sure! "No Anesthesia" promises to be the right successor for "Sorceress Bitch" and the answer to the credibility WITCHTRAP has won. Featuring songs such as "Priests of Sin", "Disturbing the Dead", "Gallows and Crows" and the hit "Heavy Drinker" among others soon to become classics! WITCHTRAP shows how heavy metal must be: WILD, RAGING & DESTRUCTIVE! "No Anesthesia" is ready to rock you till you thrash your damned room! ìSatan recorded our first note that is why this thrash shall be played so fucking loud!!!î Vinyl LP & Picture Disc OUT APRIL 2007
Awesome colombian thrash attack with catchy old-school riffs and lyrics that could have been written by swedish masters GEHENNAH. Maybe not as good as some of their earlier stuff like "Sorceress Bitch" but not far from that. Perfect to mix with a case of beer and your local thrashers!

Lately due to being sick of traffic, $3.06 a gallon gas, the war in Iraq, and global warming I have been walking a round trip total of 8 miles to and from work. The journey isn’t strenuous, but I definitely need to hear something motivating during my mini trek. This is where Witchtrap joins the fracas with their brand of 80’s Speed Metal/Thrash loaded up on cocaine, whiskey, and a “FUCK YOU TOO” attitude.
As usual my love for all things Colombia never fails, and ‘No Anesthesia’ proves this fact via addictive riffs jammed at high octane with a Metal pride theme gushing from each note played. Every song blisters with an exceptional main riff that twists, twirls, and loops intricately. Hooks are more gravitating than a bad case of herpes as they pile-drive the spines of unsuspecting listeners. The strumming is carpal tunnel inducing, but melted into a sense of dynamism and urgency, which is both spastic and violent. Most decadent are melodic guitar god solos that are heavy and precise enough to make my speakers sweat. Fuck, all I wanna do when I hear that guitar is bust my bald skull against the stage till it bleeds in concussed gore.
Making the methamphetamine guitars robust is the complimentarily rotund drums and bass. Together this unit performs well by giving the rhythm section a slightly sleazy speedy thrashy-bulge in a hotties face-sound. The bass is deep and poignant and it’s played with a double flair for technicality and support. The drums are super fucking fast and the traditional single bass drum does not hamper the tempo. The cymbals crash delightfully in unison with headbanging, the snare has an energetic spring back, and the drum patterns, ripe with rolls and fills, are played methodologically, but raucously thereby giving the whole record an almost garage vibe hearkening back to days long gone when Speed Metal/Thrash ruled Metal. Not to be outdone by the guitar, bass, and drums are the vocals. The shrieking and shouting give Witchtrap an all out Metal in your face with an empty bottle of whiskey crushing your skull attitude.
Musically, Witchtrap is highly competent with their multidimensional arrangements that encompass variation between being blister machines, contemplative, catchy, and angry. Hell, the hooks alone will cause your chiropractor to make you ‘Customer of the Month.’ Therefore, Witchtrap is perfect for listeners NOT keen on an album where each song sounds the same but with a different title. So set your fucking hair on fire with a blow torch, turn up ‘No Anesthesia,’ down a bottle of booze, and go crazy cause if you love that Old School shit like Raven, Exciter, Slayer, Kreator, and a hint of Racer X then your gonna squeal like a gutted pig for Witchtrap!!!!
