Witchrot emerged from the shadows of Toronto’s vibrant metal scene, weaving a tapestry of doom-laden riffs, haunting melodies, and ethereal vocals. Formed in 2018, the band quickly captured the attention of the underground music world with their unique blend of sludge and doom metal, heavily influenced by psychedelic masterpieces and ethereal shoegaze music. Their debut album Hollow (2021), received critical acclaim for its raw emotional power and atmospheric depth, followed by the live album Live In The Hammer (2023), which showcased the intensity of their performances. Their recent cover of Velvet Underground's Venus in Furs demonstrates their ability to reinterpret classics with a dark, immersive style. Drawing inspiration from legends like The Stooges and Pentagram, Witchrot crafts a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly original. Their music is a journey through dark, immersive landscapes, punctuated by Lea Alyssandra Reto's otherworldly vocals, Peter Turik's crushing guitar riffs, Patrick Sherrard's atmospheric keys, Myles Deck's rhythmic backbone on drums, and Jon Ferreria's thunderous bass. Witchrot continues to push the boundaries of doom metal, captivating audiences with spellbinding performances and a relentless drive to evolve.
