Witchthroat Serpent to Release Demons Left to Roam Oct. 9
Posted in Whathaveyou on July 23rd, 2026 by JJ KoczanI’m not sure if Demons Left to Roam is Witchcult Serpent‘s fourth or fifth long-player, but the coming-Oct.-9 album will mark 15 years of existence for the band, and follows 2023’s Trove of Oddities at the Devil’s Doorway (review here) with six new tracks of dug-in heavy mystique. The first single is opening track “Cursed Night Circle,” and you’ll find it on the player at the bottom of this post in all its murky, doomly threat.
I haven’t heard the full thing yet, which, you know, fair enough, but as the Fall release season takes shape, Witchthroat Serpent‘s call to worship the dark should resonate with those treading various left hand paths hither and yon. I don’t know what’s up with the cover art (below), but it definitely sets a vibe, and as someone who remembers when those things were actually put on CDs, I appreciate the AAA triple-analog rating, like they used to put on Judas Priest albums when they were sold in jewel cases. Oh, the plastic.
From the PR wire:
Occult stoner doom unit WITCHTHROAT SERPENT to release new album on Heavy Psych Sounds Records this fall; first track streaming!
South of France’s premium stoner doom foursome WITCHTHROAT SERPENT premiere the first single taken from their forthcoming new album “Demons Left To Roam”, due out on October 9th through Heavy Psych Sounds.
Recorded at the legendary Kerwax Studio by Christophe Chavanon on analog tape and gear, Witchthroat Serpent’s new album “Demons Left To Roam” is yet another hymn to the last century’s sordid dreams and fears, moral panic and the creepy costumes from Halloween in the 30’s. Huge and gritty walls of guitars, rumbling stereo bass and plundering ritual drums raise a wall of songs brimming with horror tales and satanic litanies, carried by the band’s trademark haunted vocals.

Witchthroat Serpent was formed in November 2011 in Toulouse, France to spread occult and powerful doom stoner across the living world’s borders. The band has toured extensively in Europe, playing both underground shows and major scene festivals such as Hostsabbat and Sonic Blast. After their second critically acclaimed LP “Sang-Dragon” Fredrik Bolzann & Niko Lass have been joined in their act by Ügo Greifengeier & Djé Cndrs for a split with cult fellows Dead Witches published by Heavy Psych Sounds Records and followed by the third LP “Trove of Oddities at the Devil’s Driveway”.
Now a maniac 4-piece band wholly dedicated to the dark arts and the everlasting quest for The Tone, they are set to release their new album on Heavy Psych Sounds Records this fall.
