NEWS: Witchsorrow return after eight years!
Featuring guest appearances from Serena Cherry of Svalbard and Noctule fame as well as Sammy Urwin of Employed To Serve, a new album from Witchsorrow titled “The Devil And All His Works‘” is slated for a 3rd July arrival via Church Road Records. The long awaited follow up to 2018’s critically acclaimed “Hexenhammer” floats on themes of Witchcraft, Witch Trials and History as a portrait in Doom Metal having been produced by Chris Fielding (Electric Wizard, Fen, Winterfylleth). The first listen is “Bacchus” with pre-orders available over at bandcamp
Vocalist and guitarist Necroskull: “I wanted everything to be as pure as possible. Everything had to be total doom, to an even higher degree than before. I’m still as proud to call ourselves a doom metal band as I ever was. I don’t know anything else. I noticed when I was writing the lyrics that there was something of him there in everything I was coming up with as a metaphor for things both good and bad. I’ve previously written cautionary tales about people getting into Faustian pacts without realising what they’re dealing with, but here there was a different balance. Bacchus is about the joy of decadence and sin, but there’s also things that touch on impermanence and loss and feeling like there’s a dark force at the edge of reality out to hide misfortune for you to trip on.”
