Widow’s Bane-CD Review
by Tim Wenger
Exotic, dark, and harrowing, all words that come to mind when listening to the pirate-themed death polka of The Widow’s Bane’s new record Don’t Be Afraid, It’s Only Death. Danceable rock from the land beneath, the record sounds a lot like a satanic version of Gogol Bordello– swapping the upbeat, jovial beats and replacing them with ominous and mellow tunes that, despite their dark nature, are impossible not to nod your head to.
Songs like “Ancestral Ray” and “The Plague” tell murky stories with what can only be described as a fun twist, making for an album that holds the attention of the listener like Todd Helton holds down first base.
