20) WITCHERY – I Am Legion (Century Media)
Primal Swedish blackened thrash – that is Witchery’s I Am Legion – the brood wasting no time releasing another platter of rifffing intensity after 2016’s In His Infernal Majesty’s Service. After not releasing anything in a 6 year span, they now have two in back-to-back years and we couldn’t be happier about it. After being quiet for so long the creative juices are flowing. So keep the hits comin’ Witchery because we are ready as I Am Legion’s kicks off the top 20 of BravePicks 2017.
In his review for I Am Legion, scribe Chris Tighe wrote, “What stands out though is the quality of the writing. The album is littered with memorable riffs, choruses and lead breaks ... take a listen to the mid-section riff change on ‘Dry Bones’ and try not to headbang. Good luck to that."
