Band Line Up 2021

Formed in late 2015 in a dark cavern beneath the streets of old Edinburgh, a lead-heavy brew of old school Metal and the meatiest of 70’s classic rock emerges in the form of King Witch. Bristling with dark majesty, they draw comparisons ranging from Black Sabbath and Candlemass to Mastodon and High On Fire. The band quickly earned themselves a reputation as a formidable live act and have toured the UK and Europe as well as playing festivals such as Sweden Rock, Muskel Rock, Malta Doom Fest, Dutch Doom Days and Siege of Limerick. After self releasing their extremely well received EP “Shoulder of Giants”, the band were picked up by French label Listenable Records through which they released their debut album “Under The Mountain” in February 2018. King Witch’s highly anticipated second album “Body of Light”, which further focuses their ability to fuse dense riffage with haunting yet powerful vocal lines and melodies was released worldwide via Listenable Records on the 24th April 2020 and has been received by the press and public to high critical acclaim. “Body of Light’s” wider dynamic range takes the listener on an electrifying journey from dark, brooding passages through to full-tilt Heavy Metal glory.

We are absolutely bursting with excitement to be playing this year's Bloodstock which we think will be a particularly special one due to us all being starved of live music. It's an absolute honour to be playing the Sophie Stage and we look forward to melting some faces in the process. See you down the front!
