Dread Witch Sign to DHU Records; Tower of the Severed Serpent to See LP Release

Issued by the band in January, there was little doubt the full-length debut from Danish doom metallers Dread Witch, Tower of the Severed Serpent (review here) would end up plucked from out of the digital ether for vinyl realization. Sure enough, DHU Records has stepped in to do the dirty work of standing behind the pressing, which conveys the severity of its intention and announces its of-the-genre stance with riffs and Branca Studio cover art alike. I almost met that dude this year at SonicBlast. He does art for the Portuguese fest as well and had a merch table. I wasn’t brave enough to say hi in the end. Maybe some day.

If you missed the record, the stream is below and if I didn’t think it was worth your time I wouldn’t be here writing about it. Band and label both posit an early 2024 release for the vinyl of Tower of the Severed Serpent, after which one imagines the band will at some point adjourn to the dank, cold, largely-unlit cave where they composed the first release in order to set fire beneath the cauldron of a follow-up. Be patient. Good doom takes time. It’s like the baked potato of musical genres.

On that note, this from the PR wire:
