Erupting into the consciousness of riff worshippers the globe over with 2015’s monumental, self-released debut The Vast Electric Dark, Witchskull instantly revealed themselves as co-opters of metal’s dark history and purveyors of some of the heaviest, grooviest and fiercest Doom-metal available to human ears. After securing a natural home at Rise Above Records, the band’s follow-up album Coven’s Will (2018) briskly upgraded their worldwide profile, securing countless great reviews and generating a ferocious buzz in the underground. Back now with eight neck-threatening explosions from the pitch-black Sabbathian hearts of three diehard artisan riff-makers, A Driftwood Cross places Witchskull firmly at the forefront of the amorphous scene they emerged from. With burgeoning mortal threats looming over us all, the only path to salvation is through the sound of distorted guitars and tectonic rumble. Heavy music for heavy times. Suddenly, the future looks a little brighter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53416425619799,"sku":"P-93527-","price":11.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/Witchskull-A-Driftwood-Cross-CD-93527-1-1583741570.jpg?v=1778063925"},{"product_id":"witchskull-the-serpent-tide-cd","title":"Witchskull - The Serpent Tide - CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew album from the Australian stoner metal act, Witchskull!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormed in Canberra in 2014, Witchskull grabbed the attention of the hirsute, underground hordes with their first demo in 2015.
