Belgian black metal and thrash hybrid from Ghent active since 2015, blending noise rock textures, post-punk atmospherics, and black metal aggression across three albums including Nithera, Thole, and The Sun Has Left the Hill. Reviewers have noted their jagged, melodic sound draws comparisons to noise rock acts like Jesus Lizard alongside their extreme metal foundation.
Heavy and stoner metal band from Nottingham, England active since 2012. Witch Tripper blends the power of classic heavy metal with stoner rock's psychedelic grooves from the East Midlands.
A very recent arrival from Santa Cruz, California, Witch Whores of Satan formed in 2024 and lean into the fuzz-soaked stoner doom aesthetic with a name that signals absolutely no interest in subtlety. Santa Cruz's countercultural coastal identity feeds naturally into their hazy, riff-forward approach. Still in their earliest days, they are already carving out space in the California underground with pure heaviness.
Witch's Abortion are a Córdoba, Argentina doom/stoner metal duo consisting of Alpha (guitar, bass, lead vocals) and Omega (drums, bass, backing vocals, and samples). They released their debut EP "Initiation" on April 2, 2024 through De La Muerte Records, a three-track record featuring songs including "Water Prefers Low Places" and "Saturn's Void," which the duo recorded and mixed themselves in March 2024.
