Queens of the Stone Age - Burn The Witch

[crash46]

I was working at a small-town grocery store the other night when this spooky-cool track I'd never heard was played over the store's system. I had to stop and listen closely, and soon enough I was able to recognice what seemed to be Josh Homme's vocals and typical Qotsa guitars, but the song just seemed really left-fieldish for them, so I figured it may have been somebody else. It wasn't until I had to decipher the actual lyrics "Burn the witch" that I finally knew for sure it was this. I love this song already. Although it probably doesn't have much greater potential than it's showing now, being a third single this late, and it may start sinking simply because Halloween has now passed.

They were playing some gnarly songs all night long at that store, too. In addition to this one: "Bat Country", "Wings Of A Butterfly", "Hero Of The Day", "Hypnotize", "Parabola", "A Different Kind Of Pain", and "We Don't Care Anymore", to name a few. It was the first time in 1½ years of working this job that I was able to work and jam at the same time for pretty much the duration of my time there.

I'll say it again, though no one may be able to refute/agree, but this sounds like something off of Primus' Brown Album.

I'm not a major fan of this group or anything, so I didn't really make much of an effort to check this out. I regret that now though because I heard it earlier today and I love it. I agree with crash46; it has such as awesome spooky sound to it. I wonder where this would be right now if "In My head" hadn't performed so poorly (and I still don't understand why it did. It sounded perfectly radio friendly to me and recurrentitus makes no sense here because that didn't stop the followup to "No One Knows" from going top 10).
