Last year, Seattle doom metal duo Bell Witch released Mirror Reaper, a daunting 83-minute album made up of one single track. A haunting, staggering journey through death, life, and everything in between and after, it was one of 2017’s best albums. TMT alone bestowed upon on it the coveted four-out-of-five red circles/Best New Eureka!/Top 50 of the Year trifecta.
But what fun is reveling in something that heavy — musically and subject matter-ly — if you can’t do it with…oh, let’s say a couple hundred strangers? Bell Witch get this; they understand the desire to go through a singular, cathartic, maybe even transformative experience with people they’ve never met. Accordingly, the band will be hittin’ the road, spreading doom and gloom from sea to shining sea starting next month.
The duo will link up with Sleep — who have a four-out-of-five red circles album of their own out now — for a six date West coast leg to start, before embarking on a month-long run of shows throughout the Eastern, Central, and Mountain time zones of North America with Yob. So fire up those grills, because it’s going to be one big Doom Metal family reunion out there!
