Margarita Witch Cult Sign to Heavy Psych Sounds
Margarita Witch Cult have signed with Heavy Psych Sounds to release their debut album, presumably this Spring. The Birmingham, UK, trio — and can anyone think of another doom band to have come from there? that’s right! their new labelmates Alunah! why, who were you going to say? — first announced the coming LP last Fall, shortly after being part of the first lineup reveal for Desertfest London 2023, and as they look to follow-up their earlier-2022 two-songer, Witchfinder (review here), they will most likely have even more in the works for shows throughout the course of this year.
Plenty of time for such things, of course. This is just the preliminary signing announce, as is the general modus of the label. They’ll launch preorders and a first single — the song they had up, “Sacrifice,” has been taken down — art, details, etc. All that gonna-put-out-a-thing stuff. You know the drill. Kudos to the band in the meantime. Ask pretty much any heavy band who they want to sign to at this point and if they don’t immediately say Heavy Psych Sounds, it’s only because they don’t know what they’re talking about.

BIOGRAPHY
Hailing from the home of metal, Birmingham UK, Margarita Witch Cult are the Sabbath City’s newest heirs to the throne of darkness- serving a merciless concoction of stoned sludge, demented thrash, and proto-metal weirdness. Having released their lo-fi cassette demo ‘Witchfinder’ in early 2022 to international acclaim- being booked for Desertfest London and signing with HPS- the self-proclaimed “disciples of the riff” having been tearing up venues across the UK and leaving audiences aghast in their wake-sinking their claws into all who dare offer up their ears and eyes to their unholy din.
MARGARITA WITCH CULT is:
Scott Vincent (vocals & guitar)
George Casual (drums)
Jim Thing (bass)
