Witherer

Weaving together black/death intensity and vast funeral doom ritualism, Witherer crafts soundscapes both punishing and dreamlike, claustrophobic and immense, ruthless and meditative. Veterans of the black and death metal genres, these pseudonymous musicians shed the skin of previous identities to completely submerge themselves within this project’s depressive gloom.

Following an unreleased demo and the 2019 single “Milk Sea (Bathing in its Waves),” Witherer entered a multi-year phase of songwriting for its first full-length album, “Shadow Without a Horizon.” This produced a greater compositional focus on doom metal, leading to a reformulation of the band’s earlier atmospheric black metal sound into the blackened death/doom monstrosity it has emerged as today. The band also transformed from a one-man project into a three piece, as founding musician and lead songwriter/lyricist Tiamoath was joined by guitarist Øhrracle and drummer Hex Visceræ.

Set to be released on Hypaethral Records in June, 2025, “Shadow Without a Horizon” slices through genre conventions and plummets into the furthest subterranean corners of the earth’s bloodless veins.
