Bell Witch is an American doom metal band from Seattle, Washington, formed in 2010. [3]
Bell Witch was formed in 2010 by Dylan Desmond and Adrian Guerra. [2] The group has no lead guitarist. [4] In 2011, the group created a four-track demo that was released through a number of small record labels. [5] With the success of that release, Bell Witch went on to create their first two studio albums, Longing (2012) and Four Phantoms (2015). In 2016, drummer and co-founding member Adrian Guerra died, shortly after being replaced by Jesse Shreibman on drums. [6]
Less than a year later, Bell Witch released their third album, Mirror Reaper (2017), to critical acclaim. [7] The album features vocals from Guerra that had been left over from the Four Phantoms sessions [8] and acts as a tribute to him. [9] Notably, Mirror Reaper comprises one 84-minute song of the same name. [10] Mirror Reaper received significant national coverage, appearing on a number of year-end lists. [11] [12] [13] [14]
After performing vocals in the second half of Mirror Reaper, [15] Erik Moggridge of Aerial Ruin collaborated with Bell Witch on their fourth album, Stygian Bough Volume 1 (2020). [16]
On April 18 2023, the band announced that their new album Future's Shadow Part 1: The Clandestine Gate, part of a trilogy, would be released the next Friday (April 21). On the day of release, they played the entire album at Roadburn Festival. [17]
