John Roome was the member of an industrial outfit before launching his own
Witchman project with a series of revolutionary EPs:
Main Vein (Leaf, 1995),
Shape Of Rage (Leaf, 1996),
States Of Mind (Blue Angel, 1996),
double EP Nightmare Alley (1997),
Heavy Mental.
Inspired by Swans and
Techno Animal,
Withcman's drum'n'bass is contaminated with gothic, techno, industrial,
dub, hip hop and ambient music.
Heavy Mental and Bone Music are ambitious compositions, while
Destiny, Offworld, Hammerhead, Hand Of God,
Chemical Noir revel in expressionistic tones.
Besides the eclectic mix of elements and the dark edge,
what makes these EPs unique is that the sound is inflated with tons of
electronic effects.
They will be collected on the double-CD anthology
Heavy Traffic (Deviant, 1998).
The first album, Explorimenting Beats (Deviant, 1997), continues
the exploration of the dark lands of jungle with complex and atmospheric
pieces like Post Trauma Blues and Light At The Edge.
Inferno (Invisible, 1999) is a collaboration with Jamming UNit.
