With most songs clocking in at under three minutes, this release has a real sense of immediacy and urgency while still managing to weave a compelling larger story.

Itβs a raw and aggressive, mostly self-produced album with a level of honesty that is commendable and a showcase of skill that sets the bar high.

The whole thing is barely more than 20 minutes long, and yet it’s packing more ideas than many bands manage in an entire career. And it’s fucking brilliant.

With its chilling mix of rap, goth, punk, and noise, God Has Nothing to Do With This has a huge impact for such a concise project.

I'm already incredibly biased when it comes to Backxwash so just take this with a grain of salt but....OHHHHH HELL YES.
Backxwash takes the "Witchhop" label and darker themes of her last album to create her most haunting and devious sounding album yet. From the cries of "oh god no!" In the instrumental to shouting how she fucks with black magic, it sounds like the soundtrack to a trans 70s pulp horror film. This is some of her best beats yet with electric guitars, dungeon ... read more

Yup. I missed this one too.
This album, in one word, is brutal. The instrumentals are insanely dark and grimy, which can be expected from a horrorcore album. However, BackxWash has a very distinct style, that is very interesting and unique, which helps to set her apart from other people in the field.

With huge echoing drum patterns and deep submerssive rounded bass throughout, this new Backxwash albums f**ks so goddamn hard.

This album really has been sticking with me. I’ve been going back to it a lot. More than any other Backxwash album in fact

This is a fun and gruesome album man I mean I fw black magic. This is one of her first albums that shows the more vulnerable side which she uses to carry out her career in music

I'm assuming some of these samples of the church sermons are from SBN and if that's the case, god, they hit hard af
