He is the consort of the Earth. He is the guardian of the threshold leading to the Otherworld. It is said that he first emerged from a portal on a dark, starless night, and that he only returns when the riffs grow so fierce and grim that they shatter the barriers between worlds, reaching his ears.
That is exactly what happened. Now, Skinwalter has awakened from his slumber and crossed the threshold, drawn by the thunderous deluge of riffs unleashed by »Worship The Cult« – the debut album from Witch Ghetto.
Self-produced, recorded at Black Alley Studio and Sotto il Mare Recording Studios, and mixed and mastered by Francesco Gambarini (Shiver Down, ex-Animae Silentes), »Worship The Cult« is rooted in the heavy metal tradition, blending epic and doom influences with a distinct, authentic approach.
Available now on CD and all major digital platforms.
Witch Ghetto are an epic doom heavy metal band from Verona, Italy, formed in 2022 by Tritolo (vocals), Ancient Mariner (bass and backing vocals), El Brujo (guitars) and, initially, Lawrence the Breaker (drums).
After a period focused on live performances and covers of Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Mercyful Fate, Pentagram, Saint Vitus and Uriah Heep, the band began writing original material.
Their sound is rooted in classic heavy metal, enriched by epic overtones and dark doom influences. Sharp riffs, gloomy atmospheres, and evocative melodies come together through a distinctive approach, resulting in a direct and authentic sound.
In 2024, T. Arise replaced Lawrence the Breaker on drums, and in October of the same year the band released their first demo/EP, Around the Stone Cross, which received an excellent critical response.
In 2026, the band released their first full-length album, »Worship The Cult«. The debut album represents an evolution of the Witch Ghetto sound, with greater emphasis on songwriting and arrangements.
With »Worship The Cult«, the band draws on the traditions of heavy metal and doom, reinterpreting them through new shades and turning their influences into something personal and distinctive.
The current lineup consists of Tritolo (vocals), El Brujo (guitars), Ancient Mariner (bass and backing vocals), and T. Arise (drums).
