Bell Witch Announces New Album, Pre-Orders Available


Seattle based doom band Bell Witch have announced their new full-length album, Mirror Reaper, their third, due out this October 20th via Profound Lore Records. Details below.

Mirror Reaper contains one continuous, eighty-three-minute piece unfolding as a single track. Engineered and mixed by veteran producer Billy Anderson (Sleep, Neurosis), the band comprised of of Dylan Desmond (bass, vocals) and Jesse Shreibman (drums, vocals, organ) look to build upon the acclaim for 2015’s Four Phantoms release. The album features the return of honorary member, vocalist Erik Moggridge (Aerial Ruin). The artwork for Mirror Reaper was painted by Mariusz Lewandowski.

The band commented on the album:

“The title ‘Mirror Reaper’ is indicative of the Hermetic axiom ‘As Above, So Below,’ written with two sides to form one whole. The song is both its own and its reflection, as an opposite is whole only with its contrary. Our focus as a band has always been the perception of ghosts and the implied archetype of the dichotomy of life/death therein. ‘Mirror Reaper’ is a continuation of that concept. During the writing process we were devastated by the loss of our dear friend and former drummer, Adrian Guerra. In love and respect to his memory, we reserved an important yet brief section in the song for him that features unused vocal tracks from our last album. This specific movement serves as a conceptual turn in the piece, or point of reflection. We believe he would be proud of it as well. ‘Mirror Reaper’ was the first collaborative writing project with the new lineup, and Adrian’s death during it brought extra emotional weight. We sought to match the complexity and weight of these events within the composition of the piece.”
