Witching Altar Sign to Divebomb Records; Ride with the Devil out June 10

Two-piece Brazilian trad doomers Witching Altar initially offered up their debut album, Ride with the Devil, last August. It was a digital release following their split with countrymen rockers Necro (review here) that came out via Hydro-Phonic Records. On June 10, they’ll reissue the full-length on Divebomb Records. The label is probably more known in thrash circles (or if you prefer, circle pits), but Witching Altar have plenty of classic metal in their sound, so I’d hardly call them out of place. Besides, somebody has to be the band to play slow. It’s the rules.

Reissue comes with three bonus track covers, and if you had any doubt that Witching Altar were doom for doomers, their choices of tunes to take on should dispel them quickly.

Have at you:

Brazilian doomsters WITCHING ALTAR join Divebomb Records

Divebomb Records is excited to welcome its first doom act, WITCHING ALTAR, to the label. Their debut album, Ride With The Devil, will be available 6/10/2016. Pre-ordering has begun and orders can be placed here.

WITCHING ALTAR came into being in the year 2011 with but a single desire; to fulfill their oath of reverence to the traditional doom metal cult. T. Witchlover and Peter Vitus bow in supplication to forefathers Black Sabbath, Pentagram and Saint Vitus, and stand alongside newer priests of doom like Reverend Bizarre, Lord Vicar and Electric Wizard.

Divebomb Records is pleased to bring you the North American release of WITCHING ALTAR’s new album Ride With The Devil, and join the band on its crusade of despair. Deep, heavy guitars, dirty, punishing bass and hefty, bludgeoning drums bring forth tales of witchcraft, left hand path, narcotic indulgence and human debauchery.

2. The Price We Pay
3. Son Of The Devil
4. Her Embrace
5. Unbreakable Witchcraft
6. Everything Dies
7. Dopesmoke
