Dead Witches

British Doom Metal Band

Dead Witches is a heavy doom metal band that was formed in 2015. The group is known for its occult-themed lyrics and a sound that harks back to the early days of doom and sludge metal. The band was co-founded by drummer Mark Greening, formerly of Electric Wizard and Ramesses, which gave Dead Witches an immediate presence in the doom metal scene due to his pedigree within the genre. Their debut album "Ouija" was released in 2017 and received positive reviews for its heavy, psychedelic sound. They followed up with "The Final Exorcism" in 2019, which continued to build their reputation for creating dark, heavy music with a vintage feel. Dead Witches' music is characterized by slow tempos, thick guitar riffs, and haunting vocals, which have garnered them a following within the doom metal community. They have also contributed to split releases like "Doom Sessions Vol. 666," collaborating with other bands in the genre to create a collective work that showcases their style alongside their peers. Throughout their career, Dead Witches have maintained a consistent presence in the underground metal scene and have been recognized for their contributions to the revival of traditional doom sounds.
