Doom/Stoner Metallers Burnt Witch Unleash Crushing Electric Wizard Cover "We Hate You" Exclusively on Bandcamp


WEST TENNESSEE - Fresh off the world premiere of the track on The Zach Moonshine Show on Metal Devastation Radio, West Tennessee doom outfit Burnt Witch have officially unleashed their crushing rendition of "We Hate You," originally performed by legendary British doom pioneers Electric Wizard.

The cover is available exclusively on Bandcamp , giving doom devotees an early opportunity to experience Burnt Witch's massive reinterpretation before it arrives on additional streaming platforms at a later date.

Rather than simply recreating a classic, Burnt Witch inject their signature blend of swamp-soaked heaviness, crushing low-end, and fuzz-drenched atmosphere into the iconic track while paying respect to one of doom metal's most revered influences.

The release follows the growing momentum surrounding the band after their acclaimed EP Dopelich , which earned recognition from Weedian's "Best Releases" spotlight. Burnt Witch have continued building a reputation throughout the underground with their uncompromising approach to doom and sludge, drawing attention from fans across the heavy music community.

The band also recently appeared on The Zach Moonshine Show for an in-depth interview discussing their evolution, gear, songwriting, and the growing Memphis doom scene, while also shining a spotlight on the upcoming Delta Doom Fest , scheduled for October 17, 2026, at Growlers in Memphis, Tennessee.

Fans of Electric Wizard, traditional doom, sludge, and riff-driven heavy music won't want to miss Burnt Witch's crushing take on this underground classic.

Review


Dopelich is the debut EP from Doom/Stoner Metallers Burnt Witch who inject a rebellious strand of Southern Metal grooves into their WEEDIAN sound. The whole EP is full of NOLA based hallucinogenics and sounds where you can hear bands such as DOWN and CROWBAR regularly with Burnt Witch weaving their own great style of Doomed Out flavour along the way.


The EP is quite sadistic with harsh vocals and eerie instrumental passages which sees Burnt Witch tap into other areas of HEAVY METAL and apply a violent Sludge Metal makeover to them especially on the tracks Dopelich, Bastard and Witchcult. This sounds like the after effects of coming down from a very bad WEEDIAN trip where you’re faced by the grim reality of your actual living situation. Though, there’s something very powerful and deeply engaging about it all with Burnt Witch developing a real destructive style of intense melody and epic down-tuned grooves which are delivered with real primal fury.


Another highlight of the record is Burnt Witch exploring areas of Proto-Metal, Classic Heavy Metal and Psych Metal whilst keeping with their violent interplay of AMPLIFIER DISTORTION and LOW & SLOW based sludgy soundscapes with that smoky WEEDIAN atmosphere. Burnt Witch also takes the listener  into unexpected areas of Classic Rock and Blues Rock that suddenly appear out of nowhere. 


The two standout tracks on the EP have to be the final tracks of Glass Eye and Witchcult where Burnt Witch use every Stoner Metal trick in the book to provide a thrilling style of music that has epic moments of NOLA heaviness with flashes of drugged out vocals and sublime lyrics to match. You can even detect small traces of classic Grunge behind the scenes with Burnt Witch not finishing adding other genres of music into the final mix which makes this quite an addictive record from start to finish.


Burnt Witch have released an absolutely stunning debut EP which I can’t recommend highly enough. For a debut EP, this is about as great as it gets especially if you’re a long time follower of the Doom/Stoner/Sludge Metal scene. I’m genuinely excited to hear where Burnt Witch go next as these guys are the real deals and I can only see these guys becoming an essential part of the underground scene if they keep releasing great records such as this.

WOW!!! - Add this to your collection now.
