Witchfinder

About

Clermont-Ferrand's doom sludge quartet WITCHFINDER are powered by gloomy keyboard effects, haunted Dopelord-like vocals, thunderous riffage and a bone rattling rhythm section. Since the release of their eponymous debut album in 2016, they have garnered a sizable following among the underground scene opening for stoner and doom heavyweights such as Red Fang, Corrosion Of Conformity, Dopethrone, Ufomammut, Conan, Monolord, Kadavar, Hangman’s Chair... Witchfinder's sophomore studio effort 'Hazy Rites' throws in plenty of hardcore and sludge influences to their already massive and doom-laden sound. It came out on 2019 via Black Bow Records (CD) and 2020 via Mrs Red Sound (LP). Their lastest EP 'Endless Garden' blends fearsome fuzz, cold psychedelia and mucky sludge. This is the first studio effort recorded with their new keyboardist Kevyn Raecke, who brings some stagy ghostly effects and greatly emphasizes the band's fat and spooky sounding. This EP came out in June 2022 on Mrs Red Sound and definitely picked the interest of a larger number of heavy sounds lovers. Witchfinder's upcoming album 'Forgotten Mansion' was recorded, mixed and mastered at Monochrom Studio, Gniewoszów, Poland, by Haldor Grunberg of Satanic Audio (Behemoth, Dopelord, Me An That Man). It arrives this November 18th through Mrs Red Sound. LINE-UP : Clément Mostefai: vocals, bass Stanislas Franczak: guitar Thomas Dupuy: drums Quentin Parthenay : guitar, vocals
