Witchsorrow

Witchsorrow is a UK doom metal group active since 2005, identified with doom metal, metal and traditional doom metal. The band forms around three members: guitarist Necroskull, formerly of Mfkzt; bassist Emily Witch; and drummer Morrellhammer, who is also a member of Koresh.

Formation and style

The group is built around a shared focus on doom metal and describes its sound through the legacy of acts such as Saint Vitus, Electric Wizard, Candlemass and Black Sabbath’s Pagan Altar. Its name reflects that commitment to traditional, heavy doom.

Witchsorrow’s first live appearance is with Blood Island Raiders in December 2006. After that, the band plays across the UK, sharing bills with Orange Goblin, Electric Wizard, The Lamp of Thoth and The Gates Of Slumber, and appears at Bloodstock Open Air in 2008. In June 2008, the group issues its first official release, a limited two-track rehearsal tape, which circulates through the doom underground.
