Witch Hunt's album Burning Bridges To Nowhere is a record that has a good deal going for it in its best moments. However, these instances are not enough to make a good listen for the album's entirety. Although most of what's left may still be a slightly above average, despite the band using a more polished, poppy sound than many acts of its crust punk and anarcho-punk ilk, Witch Hunt often does not take the best aspects from these often-antipodal forms of recording.
Fans of these punk genres are getting behind the band saying they are amongst the best on the scene. One may somewhat see why: Witch Hunt takes the speedy drive and molten murk of the metallic, hardcore punk acts and combines it with glossier production, female-cum-male vocals, and a sense of melody. Yet, in my eyes, this aspect of the band's likeability sadly never breaks out of a mechanical structure, standardized pound, and monotonous chug. Frankly, the album, despite being at times admirable, is often times yawn inducing.
