Death/Doom/Sludge Metallers DREAD WITCH release video for title track off upcoming album "Cult"


Danish sludge death doomsters DREAD WITCH have just released a video for the title track off their upcoming album CULT - the follow-up to the band's highly acclaimed debut Tower of the Severed Serpent from 2023.

A cornucopia of seriously heavy, low tuned riffs and mean vocals, the song "Cult" pushes the listener into the horror darkness of a terrible occult nightmare infested with serpents, witches and human sacrifices.

The video was directed, lighted and shot by DREAD WITCH and edited by the band's bassist Leifur Nielsen.

About new album CULT


Produced, mixed and mastered by none other than Tue Madsen (Meshuggah, Belphegor etc.), CULT features 36 minutes of dynamic and deliciously messy doom metal spread across eight pummeling tracks that cater to fans of multilayered cinematic doom of the heaviest kind.

"CULT" will be out October 31st on LP via DHU Records, CD via Bottomless Pit and digital via Gateway Music.

About DREAD WITCH

DREAD WITCH was formed in Denmark in 2023 by ex-members of Scamp, Horned Almighty, Stone Cadaver and The World State for the sole purpose of creating heavy and dark doom metal under the influence of horror literature, cult movies and bands like Pink Floyd and Triptykon.

DREAD WITCH create Boschian landscapes of doom that, as RockHard Italy wrote, "captures the listener in a magnetic whirlpool that is difficult to escape".
