NinjaWitch, a rising force in the realms of cosmic doom, space rock, and stoner metal, has caught the attention of the metal community with their latest EP, Order of the Red Horse. The release, which offers 20 minutes of sonic exploration, has been warmly received by critics, including a recent review from Rockportaal.
A Fusion of Influences: Doom, Space Rock, and Stoner Metal
Drawing inspiration from legendary acts like Monster Magnet, Hawkwind, and Black Sabbath, NinjaWitch blends heavy riffs, a cosmic atmosphere, and raw stoner energy into a unique musical experience. According to Rockportaal, the EP stands out with its ability to traverse multiple genres while maintaining a cohesive sound.
“Tune Low Get High” is hailed as the EP’s standout track, showcasing heavy riffs with a cosmic vibe and a depth that resonates deeply with listeners.
The title track, “Order of the Red Horse”, reveals promising potential, laying a solid foundation for the band’s evolution in the space doom universe.
The opening track, “Come Alive”, features an epic glam-rock-inspired guitar solo that, while unconventional, is a testament to NinjaWitch’s willingness to experiment.
Room to Grow and a Bright Future Ahead
While Rockportaal noted some areas for refinement, particularly in the balance between stoner and cosmic/doom elements in the vocals and lyrics, the overall tone of the review was optimistic. The publication commended NinjaWitch for their adventurous approach, noting that fans of bands like Ufomammut, Mars Red Sky, and Cosmic Reaper will find much to appreciate in the EP.

NinjaWitch’s Order of the Red Horse is more than just an EP; it’s a glimpse into a promising future. The band is carving out their niche in the cosmic-doom genre, and with this release, they have set the stage for even greater things to come.
