The Sixth Chamber Post Lyric Video for “Walpurgis Night”

With roots in Los Angeles that go back 20 years but just two full-lengths under their collective belt, The Sixth Chamber manage to bring a storied blend of styles to the goth-horror narrative of their new single “Walpurgis Night.” And by “the goth-horror narrative,” I mean the goth-horror narrative, since the song is essentially telling the story of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Because, damn it, if you’re going to do a thing, go all-in.

And The Sixth Chamber are nothing if not that. Their sound brings together elements of stately goth rock, classic heavy metal, and doom, and with a hearty dose of church organ to boot, “Walpurgis Night” offers a duly creepy feel to go with its rampant hook about the undead. Led as ever by guitarist/vocalist Rahne Pistor, their songcraft wants nothing for structure or melody and their work weaves between influences with the organic otherness of a band working outside of time. I’m pretty sure I’ve likened them before to Type O Negative or the underappreciated Bronx Casket Co. — and if not, shame on me — but if not, the obvious glee of their darkness comes through even or maybe especially in the animated lyric video that accompanies “Walpurgis Night” below.

For further grim treasures, I might advise digging into their Bandcamp. Personnel and styles vary, but there’s always a darker undercurrent that unites the material across the swath of releases.

But of course, this first. Enjoy:
