Modern Witchcraft Sign to DHU Records for Self-Titled LP
Posted in Whathaveyou on May 8th, 2020 by JJ Koczan
I’ve been playing catch-up with the news all week. Am I caught up? No. Not at all. But, among the things I didn’t want to let slip through the cracks is this latest pickup from DHU Records of Nottingham, UK, merchants Modern Witchcraft. The five-piece’s self-titled debut was posted last year as a demo/here’s-a-thing-on-Bandcamp, and as the Netherlands-based imprint will, it snatched up the offering for an LP release as part of its ongoing mission to support the transition for emerging bands from digital to physical media, specifically that of the vinyl variety. If you can’t dig that, well, with all due respect, I think you should rethink your position.
The album, such as it is now, once again came out last year, so yes, it’s streaming. At the bottom of this post, as it happens. Feel free to dig in.
From the PR wire:
New signing to DHU Records: Modern Witchcraft
DHU Records is excited to announce the signing of Nottingham, UK Heavies Modern Witchcraft!
“5 disparate east-midlanders who came together to create something dark, beautiful, and groovy”
Incorporating the crushing elements of all that is Heavy, and influenced by the likes of Neurosis, Iron Monkey, Charger, Johnny Truant among others, Modern Witchcraft wade through 5 filthy Doom Soaked Sludge Hymns on their debut self titled record. Initially released in 2019 as a ‘Demo’, this, was an absolute no brainer that 100% needed the DHU wax treatment.
Modern Witchcraft is re-released as of Thursday April 30th 2020, digitally with new artwork by Andrej Bartulovi? at modernwitchcraft.bandcamp.com
DHU Records is honored to release Modern Witchcraft (DHU048) on Limited Edition vinyl this Summer.
