What a big steaming pile of poo-poo Jack Frost and company has served us. Hard to imagine this was the same band that seemingly represented America's forefront of modern power metal with killer records like 'Xiled to Infinity and One' and 'Passage to the Other Side'. It's been years since any Witches material was even remotely interesting and 'The Way of the Wicked' could be the worst of the catalog. Singer Anthony Cross has no emotion whatsoever and the riffs come across as a sweaty bar band playing cover tunes for a couple waitresses and a fat trucker. Ugh.
