MWWB
The Harvest (New Heavy Sounds)
Having scheduled The Harvest for release in March 2021, Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard (MWWB) instead went on hiatus due to guitarist Paul Davies having a stroke so debilitating the band were invited to come and say their final goodbyes to him. Thankfully, Dave (as he is more commonly known) survived and can enjoy the release of this new slab of space doom with the rest of the band – who have also slimmed down their moniker to MWWB.
Jessica Ball’s already impressive vocals have managed to find another echelon, and the combination of low-end riffs and soaring folk-esque vocals has worked well for them over the years. But with The Harvest there is more emphasis on the sci-fi aspect of the band, which brings it all together, making the nine tracks feel like one complete body of work. It’s Goblin meets Black Sabbath and it’s absolutely beautiful, on all levels, to see MWWB firing on all cylinders again.
