Portland-based band Fluid Druid fuses their psychedelic rock mastery with ingenious storytelling with their latest single, “Witch’s Fire”. This song is a certified headbanger with its amazing beats, riffs, and guitar shreds that will simply blow you away. The whimsy and sort-of sinisterness that the band fuses with their energetic instrumental shines through, making a distinct sonic soundscape that you simply won’t find with anyone else.

Opening with the track’s foundational, dynamic beats, we are then introduced to its addictive guitar riffs. The bass line is subtle, but trust us when we say that it really serves as the song’s backbone, pulling everything together perfectly and leaving no lapses. The guitar shreds near the track’s end are absolutely addictive, giving us more of the intense, powerful vibe that the song permeates all throughout. The psychedelic vibe is displayed masterfully with the song’s audio panning, bouncing between your ears with ease which is such a treat to experience. The lyrics are recited instead of sung, with the vocals having a nostalgic sound to it that almost makes it seem like we’re listening to an old, sinister television show, which really works perfectly for the song’s psychedelic rock nature.

If we’re talking about revolutionising a genre, then no band is better at doing it than Fluid Druid, and their distinctive sonic landscape takes psych rock to a whole new level, with this latest single being proof of that. Listen to “Witch’s Fire” on all streaming platforms now.
