W.I.T.C.H. (We Intend To Cause Havoc) were the biggest rock band in Zambia in the 1970s and spearheaded a new genre dubbed Zamrock, fusing influences that ranged from the Rolling Stones to Black Sabbath and James Brown and mixing them with traditional African rhythms and bush village songs. At t the peak of their popularity, the band often needed police to keep fans at bay while their lead singer Jagari - whose name is an Africanisation of Mick Jagger’s - riled up crowds by stage diving from balconies and dancing manically as the WITCH’s blend of psychedelic rock and African rhythms permeated the surrounding atmosphere.

From the psych pop of "Cabinet of Curiosities" and "Hypnophobia" to the immersive electronic journey of 'Somnium', Jacco Gardner's fascination with technology has brought him to his new side-project: Metius. Conceived in his Antwerp studio, the same creative lair where he produced the recently released "Zango" by WITCH, Metius resonates as Gardner's symbiotic discourse with machinery, and a love letter to past musical epochs. This exploration culminated in the release of Metius' first EP, "Computered Visions".
