SHADOW WITCH: Announce "Disciples of the Crow" Album.
November 29, 2017
In 2015, a crew of veteran musicians in Kingston, New York shared a passion to create powerfully original music. Shadow Witch drew musical influences from various directions, but their goals were simple - harness decades of experience into a cohesive, monstrous sound. Considering members of Shadow Witch are known from previous bands such as Murphy's Law, Hellride 102, Blue Coyote, Voodelic, Cold War Survivor, and The Blind Ambassadors, the velocity by which those goals were met is no surprise.
In August 2016, Shadow Witch released their first full-length album 'Sun Killer', to excellent reviews from the international heavy music community. The album is a diverse assemblage of songs pulling in doom, thrash, psychedelic and stoner metal, and they back it up with intense, explosive live shows to annihilate any listener hesitation.
While member resumes may have eased their footing inside the door of many venues, their future is unquestionably solid. Shadow Witch begins a new chapter in their music history with the official release of 'Disciples Of The Crow' on December 15, 2017, via Salt Of The Earth Records.
Shadow Witch returns with an amazing new release filled with mood, atmosphere, and killer riffs and vocals. Eight songs are all that's needed to raise you above the light, surround you in darkness, and bind your ears, hearts, and mind as one.
Shadow Witch is coming for you.

Prior media response to Shadow Witch...
"...a super, stompy doomer that rocks like some of the best Alice In Chains meets vintage Sabbath glory. Vocalist E. Walker is a glorified warlock." - Morgan, Metalriot.com
"They are the band your big brother listened to, the band your dad loved, the one your sister lost her virginity to, the one your mother screamed for to be turned down, the one you always wanted to be in." - Frazer Jones, Desert Psychlist
"I've heard these guys being compared to Graveyard, Mastodon, Clutch, and Sabbath, so it tells you how expansive their sound actually is. Shadow Witch are worth giving a damn about and they've made me quite excited to hear more from them." - Steve Howe, Outlaws Of The Sun
