Burning Witch Reissue News

BURNING WITCH "Crippled Lucifer" (sunn2) will finally see the light of the lord in late November. This will consist of a double CD containing all works recorded during the September 1996 "Towers..." and March 1997 "Rift.Canyon.Dreams" sessions, liner notes and a lot of associative imagery from the short period the group was active.

Burning Witch was born from the ashes of the act Thorr's Hammer in late 1995, but was in existence only a bit longer and disbanded in late March 1997. During the period three recording sessions (a demo plus two album works) and a hand full of concerts were executed in the Pacific Northwest region. Two of the sessions eventually were released on LP format under the following titles, and portions of the 2 sessions were compiled as the second Southern Lord cd release in 1999 titled "Crippled Lucifer (Seven Psalms for our Lord of Light)". The group reformed briefly in October 1998 to perform two concerts in California as a tribute to Slap A Ham releasing the "Towers...." LP at that time.

Despite existing beneath a certain black envelope of total underground obscurity in it's life, the band has left a lasting legacy within certain sectors. BW could also arguably be mentioned as an important seed from which members posthumously branched off into the following critical acts: SUNN O))) (and associated projects), KHANATE, GOATSNAKE, ASVA, ATAVIST, SINISTAAR and others.
