All Them Witches, Handsome Jack

The Earl - 488 Flat Shoals Ave. S.E. Atlanta, GA 30316 $12-$14. 8:30 p.m.

Nashville’s All Them Witches come to Atlanta with a reputation as a heavy band that digs into the early days of metal to find its swaggering sound. And while that may be true on the band’s first few albums, it’s not on its newest release, Sleeping Through the War. Here, All Them Witches saunter and sneer their way through a seemingly endless supply of smoldering psychedelic blues-rock. The sound is sinister and the effect is intoxicating.
