As far as blatant Black Sabbath worshiping goes, Windhand are one of the bands that do it absolutely right. The occult rock thing is getting a bit homogenous, but it helps when you’re able to be as catchy as Windhand. The band have just wrapped up their full-length Relapse solo debut (they had a split album with Cough earlier this year through the label) and are hitting the road this June.

The tour actually hits several towns around me in a four hour radius, but they’re all on weekdays. Bummer. Hit up your local spot if you can make it though! Windhand’s new album will be out this Fall. More news when we get it! Check out ‘Shepherd’s Crook’ from their Reflection of the Negative split with Cough below.
