So the top ten lists are rolling in, and some of you may have noticed an obscure CDR demo being mentioned, a demo by a little known Seattle doom band called Bell Witch. The gracious dudes from the band were kind enough to send me a copy. Admittedly I slept on it a bit, for this I am foolish. Bell Witch have ex-members of Samothrace, so right there I should have clamored to listen. This isn't terribly unlike Samothrace, perhaps a bit more menacing and less delicate in parts than the former band. Bell Witch also can boast some pretty compelling vocal work on this release. A truly special band that will go on to do great things. Someone give them money to make an album. This is gorgeous.

Thank you for this CDR rip. I have heard a song or two from this band on the web. I caught Samothrace with EYEHATEGOD here in Seattle [though I live 4 1/2 hrs away from Seattle]. Great musicians. Once again thanks and if I see these guys live I will definitely buy a demo or whatever else from them.
Nice one! Thanx to my new computer I can now actually download and listen to the stuff you post. Quite an improvement. ;)
Too bad the Cretaceous link seems to have expired , had been looking forward to hearing that one for ages...
That's a great cover
A band named after my favourite Asylum song, most intriguing! Checkin it out.
Fantastic stuff and the madrigal vocals -- ker-BOING!
Thanks for sharing.
