Witchpit to Release Forever Spoken Nov. 8; Title-Track Posted & Preorder Available
Bringing together the tonal heft and swing of sludge with a groove metal-style aggressive underpinning, South Carolina’s Witchpit aren’t as outwardly Southern metal as one might expect, but neither are they leaving much to question about where they’re coming from as they move forward from 2022’s The Weight of Death (review here) and toward the Nov. 8 release of their new album, Forever Spoken. Their second long-player through Heavy Psych Sounds, the record is led off by its title-track, which is also the first single (it’s at the bottom of the post, as usual) to make its way to public ears. Crunch, impact, nod and push accounted for, thank you very much.
Witchpit took part in Heavy Psych Sounds Fests on both sides of the US supporting their last album. I have no idea what the plans are for Forever Spoken, but that title-track sure sounds like a gauntlet to be thrown down from the stage, so I’m sure they’ll be out somewhere along the line. With High Reeper leaning more metallic and Conan signed to the label, Heavy Psych Sounds is growing the darker, meaner-sounding contingent of its roster, and Witchpit‘s timely Phillip Cope-produced return fits right in there as well.

ALBUM DESCRIPTION
“Forever Spoken” is a powerful exploration of humanity’s quest to leave a lasting legacy. This album delves into the trials, adversities, and struggles that shape our journey and challenge our ability to fulfill our destiny. Musically, it ventures into the realms of southern metal and sludge, featuring intricate riffs and heavy metal double bass rhythms that elevate its intensity and complexity.
The album was recorded with the esteemed Phillip Cope (Kylesa, Baroness, Black Tusk), who returns to mix the record after his successful previous collaboration with us. To complement the depth of the music and lyrics, we enlisted the legendary Dan Seagrave (Morbid Angel, Gorguts, Suffocation) for the cover art. His iconic style perfectly captures the complexity and essence of “Forever Spoken,” making this collaboration a significant milestone for us.
