WITCH MOUNTAIN – Complete New Album/Tour Announcement

Portland, Oregon’s oldest and most cult doom metal band WITCH MOUNTAIN have completed work on their new album “Cauldron Of The Wild”.

Following-up their acclaimed comeback album “South Of Salem” (which was the literal follow-up to the band’s 2001 debut “…Come The Mountain”), initially released by the band themselves early 2011 on limited edition vinyl and then released in limited CD format earlier this year by Profound Lore, “Cauldron Of The Wild” sees WITCH MOUNTAIN deliver their heaviest and most accomplished work to date.

With the band’s style of bluesy dirge-like heaving doom that lays the foundation for vocalist Uta Plotkin’s soaring and soulful vocals, making her vocals those of an unparalleled nature in heavy music today, “Cauldron Of The Wild” (once again recorded by legendary producer Billy Anderson) will be recognized as one of the most distinct doom metal gems of 2012.

To be released officially on June 12th, tracklisting for “Cauldron Of The Wild” goes as follows:

  1. The Ballad Of Lanky Rae
  2. Beekeeper
  3. Shelter
  4. Veil Of The Forgotten
  5. Aurelia
  6. Never Know
