Bell Witch 'Longing'
Upon its release in 2017, Bell Witch's 'Mirror Reaper' cemented the Seattle duo's status as one of doom metal's most formidable acts. Its single, monolithic track also served as a tribute to the band's former drummer Adrian Guerra, who tragically passed away the year before. Five years earlier, on the back of a highly praised demo, Bell Witch released their debut album, Longing. Featuring the original line-up of Dylan Desmond and Adrian Guerra (RIP), Longing was recorded by Brandon Fitzsimons (Wormwood, Samothrace). It is a time-stretching journey through darkness, pain, suffering, and doomed minimalism that is now considered a classic of the genre. Longing was originally released on CD by Profound Lore in 2012 and on vinyl by The Flenser. The vinyl edition has been out of print for several years until now. The Flenser is proud to offer a new pressing of this timeless masterpiece. Longing is packaged in a thick, old-style case-wrapped gatefold jacket with printed inner sleeves. Tracklisting:
1. Bails (of Flesh)
2. Rows (of Endless Waves)
3. Longing (The River of Ash)
4. Beneath the Mask
5. I Wait
6. Outro
The vinyl itself is pressed on heavyweight, high-quality vinyl, ensuring the best possible sound quality for the listener.

Reviews for "The Bell Witch Chronicles: Collecting Vinyl Records of Paranormal Phenomena"
1. John - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the "Bell Witch Longing" vinyl. The sound quality was subpar, with a lot of background noise and crackling. It almost felt like I was listening to a worn-out record from the '80s. Additionally, the packaging was flimsy and poorly designed. Overall, I expected a lot more from this vinyl release and I wouldn't recommend it to any music enthusiasts.
2. Emily - 1/5 stars - I had high hopes for the "Bell Witch Longing" vinyl, but it fell short on multiple levels. The vinyl skipped and jumped throughout most of the tracks, ruining the listening experience. Moreover, the album cover artwork wasn't centered properly and looked pixelated, which was quite disappointing. I value good sound quality and attention to detail when it comes to vinyl releases, and unfortunately, this one missed the mark completely.
3. Alex - 2/5 stars - The "Bell Witch Longing" vinyl didn't live up to the hype for me. The pressing had a lot of surface noise, which was distracting and diminished my enjoyment of the music. The album itself is solid, but the poor quality of the vinyl pressing was a letdown. Additionally, the vinyl arrived in a flimsy sleeve that seemed prone to damage during shipping. Overall, while the music is worth listening to, I would advise against purchasing this particular vinyl release.
4. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was really excited to add the "Bell Witch Longing" vinyl to my collection, but unfortunately, it left me underwhelmed. The vinyl itself was warped, causing the audio to sound distorted and uneven. I tried playing it on different turntables, but the problem persisted. It's a shame because the album itself is great, but the poor quality pressing ruined the overall experience. I regret spending my money on this particular vinyl release and would caution others from doing the same.
