Witchpit, a formidable force in the doom/sludge metal scene, has been crafting their heavy, riff-driven sound since their formation in 2015 in Spartanburg, SC. The band comprising Thomas White, Denny Stone, Jesse Lane, and Jeremy Grobsmith, combines classic heavy metal, doom, sludge, and thrash influences to create a powerful and original musical experience.

Known for their intense live shows and meticulous studio work, Witchpit’s music delves into themes of mysticism, rebellion, and the supernatural, weaving intricate narratives that captivate their audience. Their debut album »The Weight Of Death« received acclaim from Metal Injection for its “throw down High On Fire-esque riffs” and profound lyrical content, showcasing their ability to merge heavy riffs with compelling storytelling.

Witchpit has toured extensively and shared stages with prominent acts such as Weedeater, Voivod, and EyeHateGod, solidifying their place in the metal community. The band’s latest album »Forever Spoken«, released on November 8th, 2024 through Heavy Psych Sounds, pushed their sound further into the sludge/southern metal genre, blending their signature intensity with innovative new elements. With a growing fanbase and a reputation for electrifying performances, Witchpit is poised to make a significant impact in the metal world, continually pushing the boundaries of their genre.
