Witching Altar comments: “After 8 years of silence, mourning and distress, here we are again! Stubborn old bastards honoring the endless cult of true doom metal!

We humbly present »Morningstar«, an EP featuring two brand new songs plus a sincere homage to one of the most important Finnish doom bands ever – Spiritus Mortis (Hail Suomi Perkele!!!)

If you’re still with us, thank you so much!

✝ Doom metal is still dead – we are just obstinate ghosts ✝

With True Love,
Witchlover and Vitus.”
