The Psychic Circle have returned once again from their secret location hidden by time, space, and reality with the dark and groove-heavy Wizards of the Watchtower. The mysterious psych rock collective have gone full dark with this 11-track set of moody guitar and keys-driven songs.

There’s a “doom baroque” quality to the songs here, showing what would have been if Sleep had found solace in Hawkwind as opposed to Sabbath(“Forgotten Goblin”). Or Uriah Heep and Black Mountain coming together in a fuzz guitar light show(“Sword Against Sorcery”), as well as touches of NWOBHM(“Wormhole”). And if you close your eyes during title track “Wizards of the Watchtower” you’ll swear you’re hearing Scorpions “Sails of Charon” reimagined for some 70s Giallo film.

The Psychic Circle have stories to tell, and over the course of Wizards of the Watchtower your psyche will be transported to the far reaches of what a mind can imagine.
