Stonewitch "The Cross Of Doom" CD

Track 5 "Sign Of The Wolf" is a Pentagram cover.

Jewelcase CD with 8 pages booklet and 6 tracks of Doom Metal

First album of '16 from this French Stoner/Doom band with influences like BLACK SABBATH, PENTAGRAM, SAINT VITUS, CANDLEMASS.

French classic doomers Stonewitch have issued their debut album, The Cross of Doom, via Italian imprint Terror from Hell Records. The album follows the band’s demo and while I can’t profess to having heard the full thing at this point, the opener track “Eerie Valley of the Crimson Planet” seems to nod at NWOBHM gallop en route to Grand Magus-style fistpumping and some Candlemassian doomly sway. They cover Pentagram on the record, and no doubt “Sign of the Wolf” fits well in its surroundings.

It was released last month, so maybe I’m not exactly current on it, but better late than never, and if you’re looking to doom out.
