Champaign’s own sludge metal “Doom Blues” band Earth Witch are getting ready to release their first full-length album, which is available for pre-order February 10th. Out of the Shallow officially drops March 10th and will be available digitally and on CD and tape. If you’d like to get your hands on a physical copy, pre-order the album on their bandcamp tomorrow, as pressings will be limited.
The long-awaited album is the band’s first release since their debut, the five-track Earth Witch EP, put out in 2013. To celebrate the drop of Out of the Shallow, Earth Witch will play a local album release show the day after the drop. The March 11th show at Blips and Chitz will feature three other bands similar in genre to the thrash-y stoner rock that Earth Witch is merciless in dealing out.
Stream “Green Torch” from the upcoming album below and keep an eye on their bandcamp page to catch the pre-order tomorrow.
