revbeardedamish Found this band randomly on my library’s free music site. Couldn’t listen to 2 of the songs becuz they were over 10mins. Finally can hear the whole album. It’s fucking awesome! This is what I want out of music, heavy riffs, evil riffs, shit that makes your head bang until your neck hurts. Come to the states and destroy our hearing please!

jojolebroco Planant à en mourir, superbe voix qui transporte facilement vers l'univers de WITCHFINDER, j'adore ce contraste tres bien maitrisé entre rif GRAS et la voix clean. Cet album est juste ouf.
Et en concert on en prend plein la gueule. Favorite track: Wild Trippin'.

Bassfrog More than 2 years after its release, still a MUST HAVE for any of us who is into sludge/doom masterpieces.

Bravo les gars, votre album est monstrueux de maîtrise et de puissance, on attend la suite avec une énorme impatience!

about

French doom sludge unit WITCHFINDER took the metal scene by storm, spreading out their heavier-than-heavy mucky riffs with a highly psychedelic potential. Gloomy and haunted voices in the vein of Monolord or Windhand are blended with saturated Bongzilla or Weedeater vocals like, and fat riffage. Since their formation in 2016, and off of the back of their debut eponymous full-length, the Clermont-Ferrand-based occult doom trio quickly garnered a sizable following with many prolific support slots, opening for stoner and doom behemoths such as Red Fang, Corrosion Of Conformity, Dopethrone, Ufomammut, Conan, Monolord, Kadavar or The Necromancers.

With 'Hazy Rites' WITCHFINDER is throwing in plenty of hardcore and sludge influences to their already massive and doom-laden sound.

"As impressive and memorable as it is thunderous." DISTORTED SOUND MAGAZINE

"The hum of the riff is accompanied by a fearsome fuzz as the deafening rhythm section kicks in." GHOST CULT MAG

“Und trotzdem stellt Hazy Rites zufrieden und sorgt für gediegene Hochstimmung, wirkt die Scheibe doch wie ein Malstrom an hypnotischen." LEGACY MAGAZIN

“Un son ample et massif, riffs heavydemment écrasants et des mélodies qui, même si elles invitent peu de notes, font pour grande partie l'intérêt de ce disque, et la différence avec de nombreux autres du même genre.” NEW NOISE MAGAZINE

“Witchfinder s’apprête à graver son nom sur les tables de loi du doom. Rien de moins. Et cela, grâce à ce Hazy rites, l’un des meilleurs albums doom de ces dernières années.” DESERT-ROCK.COM

TRANSCANADIAN ANGER
by DOPETHRONE

supported by 71 fans who also own “Hazy Rites”

This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10 Buzzario

These guys are, in my opinion, one of the greatest stoner/sludge band that have popped up in recent years. Sure, you have the "old gods" like Sleep, Electric Wizard, and Kyuss but Spaceslug brings something new to the table. They're fresh, and it seems like they've got no thought of stopping anytime soon.
