WITCHROT – Streaming ‘Witchrot: Live in the Hammer’

Sizzling, soulful and bewitching, WITCHROT is excited about their latest offering Witchrot: Live in the Hammer, having its official international release today, March 10, 2023. The band is now streaming the entirety of Live In The Hammer at Doomed & Stoned. You can stream it here.

Following the release of the album, the band will release their new experimental documentary Witchrot: Live in the Hammer: The Movie, due out Spring 2023. The film will feature live footage of the band recording their album, intercut with images of Hamilton, ON (both modern and archival), punctuated by the iconography of horror films.

The goal (of the film and trailer) is to paint a poetic impression of Hamilton, balancing realism and fantasy, revealing both the good and the bad, which in turn reflects the album’s goal of making music that is both beautiful and putrid.

The band shared the following:

“Hamilton seemed like the perfect place for us to record a live album — a dirty rock n roll band playing in the grease trap of Ontario. It’s an almost mythical place, both dingy and beautiful, a geographical reflection of our music. That was the impetus for “Live in the Hammer: The Movie”. It’s a whole experimental concert movie/documentary, live footage mixed with tons of old archival material and grindhouse stuff. We hope the trailer gives an idea of how crazy it’s gonna be.”
