Asheville Doomed & Stoned Chapter II Completes Lineup
Howling Giant, In the Company of Serpents, Woorms, Insomniac, Kult Ikon, Hot Ram, Shadowcloak and Hashwitch are the new additions to complete the lineup for Asheville Doomed and Stoned Chapter II, joining Duel, 16, Horseburner and the rest from the prior announcement for the two-dayer set for July 17-18 at The Odd and Sly Grog.
The festival is put together at the behest of Grasping Air Booking, and of the new names, Hashwitch — also stylized HashWitch — are a new one for me, so I took like two seconds to open up a new tab and hit their Bandcamp, where I found 2023’s WitchTracks demo, which is just as raw as you please and likely the stonedest thing you’ll hear today unless you’re partying with Toner Low or Bongzilla. It’s three songs and dank enough for twice that.
It’s cool to see Insomniac continuing their momentum here, but I’ll note as well Howling Giant making a deserved forward step to headliner status following 2025’s Crucible & Ruin (review here), which was my pick for album of the year and won the year-end poll too, handily. They’re on the West Coast now and will do UK/Europe in May, and I can’t help but wonder if the East Coast isn’t next up over the summer, but they’re in Nashville, so if this is a one-off, fair enough. We’ll see.
Either way, they’re topping a badass bill here. The lineup announcement follows, as per social media, and I included the HashWitch stream because damn that’s stoned. Enjoy:
