Witch Mountain Announce June Tour Dates Around Maryland Doom Fest 2020

Witch Mountain released their latest single last Fall, and last I heard, they were going to set about writing new material to follow-up on 2018’s self-titled LP (review here). It seems that will show up later this year in the form of an EP, and they drop hints at more autumnal touring for 2020 as well — you might recall they were out with C.O.C. around the release of “Priceless Pain,” which you can stream below — that timing makes sense. Frankly, they’re one of those bands who, when it comes to new stuff from them, I’ll take it how it comes. If there’s trust to be earned in that regard, they’ve long since earned it.

They’ll be on the Eastern Seaboard around their appearance at Maryland Doom Fest 2020 in Frederick this June, and if you’re wondering why Heavy Temple and Gozu are listed at the Brooklyn show and no other bands are it’s because I transcribed the dates from the poster myself and someone already sent me an invite to go to the show. So there. Happened like five minutes ago. I’m sure whoever is playing Shrunken Head is also killer, but I have no idea who that might be at this present time. [Edit: it’s Pale Grey Lore, so yes, killer as suspected.]

Here’s word from the band and those dates:

We are psyched to announce a limited headlining tour surrounding our appearance at Maryland Doom Fest in June. All tickets should be on sale right now.

Two of the classic Witch Mountain albums – Cauldron of the Wild (2012), and Mobile of Angels (2014) – have been unavailable on digital platforms for quite a while.

But as of today, both are back via our favorite site Bandcamp.

2020 sees the band writing new music in guitarist Rob’s Wrong Way Recording studio, and preparing to hit the road for a series of tours in the US and Europe, where fans will get another heavy dose of the band’s patented and ever-unfurling traditional American doom/blues.

Please help us spread the word… and we’ll see you on the road! \wm/

06.12 Chicago IL Sleeping Village
06.13 Columbus OH Shrunken Head

Witch Mountain Release New Single “Priceless Pain”; Touring with C.O.C.

Posted in Whathaveyou on September 23rd, 2019 by JJ Koczan

A new Witch Mountain single is only welcome news, as far as I’m concerned. The Portland, Oregon, doomers took the stage at this past weekend’s Northwest Hesh Fest playing among likewise heavyweights like Acid King, Red Fang, Nebula, Poison Idea, Big Business, and a bunch of others, and to mark the occasion, they’ve unveiled “Priceless Pain,” which is the first studio recording they’ve had since their self-titled LP (review here) last year, which, you know, not at all a long silent stretch or anything, but still, as I say, welcome. Of particular interest is the fact that guitarist Rob Wrong — late of The Skull — also recorded his own guitar parts at his Wrong Way Recording. Wonder if he’ll just do his own stuff or bring in other bands. With as much as Witch Mountain have done with Billy Anderson, I have to imagine there’s been some measure of tutelage there, even if by osmosis.

They’ve got a lyric video up for the new track now, and as you can hear, the guitar sounds beastly. Also Kayla Dixon‘s vocals. I love it when Witch Mountain get screamy.

And oh yeah, last night the band started their Fall tour supporting C.O.C., which is both a good gig to get and a good gig to see. I’d go to that show, and I’ve already seen C.O.C. twice this year.
