April 30, 2015

Witch Of The Waste release new music video for their song, It Was Always 3 A.M. which is off their recently released EP; Made of Teeth. Vocalist Ryan Fitzgerald comments, “This is the first of a series of videos we are creating. All will be directed by our good friend Christopher Lennox and will feature simple concepts and dark atmosphere. Think of them as bad jokes being told at inappropriate times.” The song is a quick fierce aggressive punch of metal that definitely is intense and does not conform to traditional or even modern metal realms.
