BELL WITCH – “Longing” Now Available To Order

The despondent debut album from Seattle extreme doom metal duo BELL WITCH is now available to order from our website.  One of the heaviest, saddest, and emotionally draining doom metal albums you’ll hear all year, “Longing” is a colossal and monstrous sounding opus of introverted doom metal art.
