   • Bands that deal soley in instrumentals often have it rough. Without a vocalist to instantly identify the band, they're left to rely on their music to completely seal the deal . On the evidence of this debut, this Leeds drum/guitar/bass triodon't appear to be setting themselves up for any of those problems. Wiht play a fine balancing act that's swaying between stoner rock with doom influences and pysch metal. Wiht's 70's threaded sound feels more authentic than the current weed-headed crop of stoner metal dabblers. It feels like Wiht's influence is born of an appreciation for the older school rather than taking influence from the current crop of big names. The fact that this blend is done with an absolute minimum of bombast is a gratefully received bonus. There's more of a heavy-melodic way with riffs here, placing the groove above the over egging of the stoner/sludge-isms. there are budding seeds of a progressive metal in here, too, prehaps a future avenue for the band, as Wiht seem more than capable of intensifying and integrating melodies /parts into something more heightenend. This is a debut that speaks volums about their potential. 5/6.
