Wiccans - Field II LP

"Thematically influenced by science fiction and boasting a rich analog recording worthy of their sound, Field II finds NWOTHC veterans Wiccans indulging in their most occult proclivities and traversing into unknown, psychedelic territory. 
Akin to Tyranny and Mutation-era Blue Öyster Cult, but as a hardcore punk band, Wiccans has created a wholly unique and essential aural experience."
