Dead Witches Welcome New Vocalist; New Album in the Works

Dead Witches have announced the departure of frontwoman Virginia Monti and that her replacement will be Soozi Chameleone of Killing Man Jaroh. The band released their debut album, Ouija (discussed here), earlier this year via Italian imprint Heavy Psych Sounds after suffering the devastating loss of guitarist Greg Elk in Fall 2016. The circumstances of Monti‘s leaving the band are nowhere near so tragic; she reportedly wants to focus on her other outfit, Psychedelic Witchcraft. Fair enough.

With Chameleone in the vocalist role, Mark Greening behind the kit, Carl Geary on bass and Oliver Hill on guitar, Dead Witches will press forward in 2018 and continue to work on a new album as a follow-up to Ouija. According to the PR wire, that’s already in the works. No doubt it will be suitably ghoulish and ethereal by the time it hits streets next year.

Here’s the announcement from Heavy Psych Sounds of Chameleone joining the band. Of course, all the best to her in this new role and to all involved parties:

***DEAD WITCHES NEW VOCALIST***

Dead Witches welcomes new vocalist Soozi Chameleone after Virginia Monti’s departure from the band to concentrate on her band Psychedelic Witchcraft.

Soozi is a near-lifelong vocalist with a keen interest in historical and morbid writing, having had her Shakespeare inspired poetry published as a child, and in recent years having undertaken the position of a reviewer and interviewer for Metal-Rules.com.

Her singing aspirations led her to start Killing Man Jaroh, a classic psychedelic doom outfit back in 2015, who are still active now, as well as pursuing personal development via training in classical and musical theatre vocal styles to further develop her range and ability. She hopes to breathe new life into Dead Witches and join them in continuing to create hypnotically heavy music that will both delight and pleasantly disgust fans alike.

Dead Witches are currently writing new material for a second album and plan to record next year.
