From the Illinois Entertainer<\/a>: <\/p>\n

“Aside from his day job as Rob Zombie\u2019s right hand man, Mr. 5 explores his adventurous musical side on Witch. The music videos 5 has released throughout 2016 also appear on the album; a technique Metallica executed successfully last year as well. With the surge of music videos breaking singles online, 5\u2019s plan was to get his music on the screens of the fans before the album dropped<\/em>.”<\/p>\n
