ARKHAM WITCH Signs With METAL ON METAL RECORDS

June 20, 2012

Metal On Metal Records has announced the signing of the England's traditional metal brigands ARKHAM WITCH.

Said the label in a statement: "We met and saw ARKHAM WITCH live when we went to the Doomsday festival in Wakefield, U.K. in February 2011. They instantly captured us with their incredibly catchy songs and the show that was pure mighty fun! We got their 2009 demo and later on their first album, which was a stellar piece of doomy heavy metal, so when they contacted us after their previous label closed, we eagerly offered them a deal."

ARKHAM WITCH was formed in 2008 by the couple behind THE LAMP OF THOTH (vocalist Simon and drummer Emily),so obviously there are many similarities to their previous band (that for now is on hold). It's still straightforward, doom-laden heavy metal of the old (read: with heaps of NWOBHM influences),occult, but with a tinge of humor, with the trademark bard/brigand type vocals of Simon. The group takes their inspiration from bands like DEEP SWITCH, HELL, WITCHFINDER GENERAL, JUDAS PRIEST, MANILLA ROAD, CIRITH UNGOL, PENTAGRAM and SAINT VITUS (with Scott Reagers).

ARKHAM WITCH has just finished recording its sophomore album, the follow-up to last year's "On Crom's Mountain", entitled "Legions Of The Deep" and scheduled for October release. The band also contributed with an exclusive, previously unreleased song "For Metal" to "Compendium Of Metal Vol. 5" compilation CD, released in April by Metal On Metal Records.
