Prioritizing experimentation and out of the box music making, the artist known as Ten-Headed Skeleton has completely thrived on his record, The Witch that was Guilty, But Silently Watched Your Daughters Burn. Read on for a closer look into the album and a much needed background on this artist.

Challenging the listener through perplexing themes, spacious production, inventive beats, and so much more, Ten-Headed Skeleton has truly outdone himself on his newest project, The Witch that was Guilty, But Silently Watched Your Daughters Burn. You can only imagine how much music consistently gets sent our way, and with that, this undoubtedly has stuck out among the pack due to its extreme versatility and ability to sound like nothing we’ve experienced. It touches on so many new styles and genres, yet holds its own personality from beginning to end. We’ve really enjoyed this one and think you will too!

Coming in at a total of 11 tracks for a jam packed journey through 26 minutes, Ten-Headed Skeleton honestly didn’t hold back in the slightest from all the material he’d been holding on to. Lyrically speaking, the listener experiences a bit of whiplash thematically, as the artist really covers a lot of ground speaking on topics like mortality, AI, post-war relationships, and even his own personal stances. While it doesn’t necessarily flow through like a concrete story from start to finish, it doesn’t need to, mainly because it fleshes out topics that certainly aren’t discussed nearly enough. Ten-Headed Skeleton’s vocal cadence and delivery was a major highlight for us though in that he uses a distinct style to communicate, bordering on singing and spoken word all at the same time.

Where we felt this record shined the brightest though is in its production and retro-esque beats that make you feel like you’ve transported back to the 80’s, all the while infusing modern elements to give it a futuristic feel too. Classified as a “horrorcore” artist, this newest work really does show off a breadth of versatility from the creator, venturing on into dance, pop, and so much more. Some songs are definitely more catchy than others, but as a whole, this work feels very much cut from the same cloth. It’s bold, experimental, and a wild ride of ingenuity, which is exactly why we’re urging everyone to check it out.
