Love Your Witch grew out of Tel Aviv’s heavy underground in 2018 and now operate from Berlin, dragging their stoner thrash storm from one club to another. The trio, Mor Gal, Michael Kozlovsky and Amit Abrahami, built their name with non stop touring across Israel, five rounds through the EU and UK, and support slots for Eyehategod and Acid King. Eight releases in seven years is a wild streak, and “Radio Fantasia”, shaped by engineer Chris Fielding, continues that pace. The band mix 70s rock, grunge shadows, stoner muscle and warm rock ballad elements, all delivered with the raw attitude that has kept their shows unpredictable.

“Radio Fantasia” runs like a wild station that keeps flipping between different corners of heavy music. One moment you get thick riffs that crunch forward, the next you’re inside looser desert-rock heat, and then the band throw in brighter, melodic turns. The vocals float on top with a drifting tone that matches the album’s theme of imagination and strange storytelling. The band don’t hide their affection for fantasy, sci fi and dreamlike tales, and they use this concept as a thread that holds the whole thing together. Nothing is overthought, everything is pushed by instinct.

There is a warm 70s glow behind the guitars, something that fits well with the heavier stoner side the band has always carried, and when they jump into faster thrash eruptions the shift works smoothly. The production keeps things raw, making the riffs hit with grit while leaving enough air for the songs to sound like a real band in a room. Solos wander in with a sense of freedom. Drums keep a solid pace, and the bass moves with a rough edge that gives the album its ground.

The album’s quieter moments bring out a different face of Love Your Witch. Those parts give space for storytelling and atmosphere without softening the overall impact. When the heavier waves return, the push has more impact because of that contrast. This balance helps the album run like a journey rather than a stack of unrelated songs. “Radio Fantasia” plays with many colors, from smoky bar-room swagger to heavier grind, and the mix keeps the listening experience fresh from start to finish.

Love Your Witch continues their path with “Radio Fantasia”, an album shaped by instinct, grit and imagination. It walks through different corners of heavy rock without losing its character. Fans of stoner, grunge and old school metal will find a lot to latch onto here. The album stands as another strong chapter for a band that never slows down and keeps pushing forward with their own crooked smile.
