South Carolina’s sludge metal warriors WITCHPIT return with their new studio album “Forever Spoken” this November 8th on Heavy Psych Sounds, with the title track available to stream now!
“Forever Spoken” is a powerful exploration of humanity’s quest to leave a lasting legacy: the album delves into the trials, adversities, and struggles that shape our journey and challenge our ability to fulfill our destiny. Venturing into the realms of southern metal and sludge, it features intricate riffs and heavy metal double bass rhythms that elevate its intensity and complexity.
The album was recorded with the esteemed Phillip Cope (Kylesa, Baroness, Black Tusk), who returns to mix the record after his successful previous collaboration with the band. To complement the depth of the music and lyrics, the band enlisted the legendary Dan Seagrave (Morbid Angel, Gorguts, Suffocation) for the cover art. His iconic style perfectly captures the complexity and essence of “Forever Spoken,” making this collaboration a significant milestone for WITCHPIT.
Witchpit, a formidable force in the doom/sludge metal scene, has been crafting their heavy, riff-driven sound since their formation in 2015 in Spartanburg, SC. The band comprising Thomas White, Denny Stone, Jesse Lane, and Jeremy Grobsmith, combines classic heavy metal, doom, sludge, and thrash influences to create a powerful and original musical experience.
Known for their intense live shows and meticulous studio work, Witchpit‘s music delves into themes of mysticism, rebellion, and the supernatural, weaving intricate narratives that captivate their audience. Their debut album “The Weight of Death” received acclaim from Metal Injection for its “throw down High On Fire-esque riffs” and profound lyrical content, showcasing their ability to merge heavy riffs with compelling storytelling.
Witchpit has toured extensively and shared stages with prominent acts such as Weedeater, Voivod, and Eyehategod, solidifying their place in the metal community. The band’s forthcoming album “Forever Spoken”, to be released in November 2024 through Heavy Psych Sounds, promises to push their sound further into the sludge/southern metal genre, blending their signature intensity with innovative new elements. With a growing fanbase and a reputation for electrifying performances, Witchpit is poised to make a significant impact in the metal world, continually pushing the boundaries of their genre.
