arturvsantos These old buddies synthesized the passion and worship of true Sabbathian Doom Metal under a new release!
An authentic tribute to their greatest influences and a remarkable achievement proofing the blood is still pulsing in the underground, such as the ANTIPATHY for the iberian settlers inherited from our ancestors (seen in the outstanding cover art!). S(i)empre LATINO! Favorite track: Raising of the Cross.

Markus Solstrykare Few doom bands today remember or even pay tribute to the great things the genre produced in the early 00s and the heyday of the Circle of True Doom but Witching Altar does. They know what this beloved genre of mine were and still can be when done right.

Morningstar 07:01
“I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High". Condemned I was fallen, cast away Denied my beauty, a pile of decay Lord of the broken crown, a king without a throne Banned to the deepest chasm, living and dying all alone On my own! On an earth of craven, I'm the force to stand Fount of endless light, fire in the hearts of men My few and secret shall rule the many and the known I'm timeless power, unending growth Take my Love! Come my child - unchain me! Leave this old fear - awake! Remember, I've been burning inside of you since day one. I'm Light Bearer, the Son of Dawn Remember, we've met since you were young, behind that church The black man that dwells in Hell And we shall rejoin again We shall rejoin again, to rule all the Earth Tu verus mundi Lucifer Hail the Son of Dawn! Tu verus mundi Lucifer Iblis, Oh Shining One! Tu verus mundi Lucifer Praised be the Morning Star! Tu verus mundi Lucifer Heosphoros! Heilel Ben Shahar!

"In memory of Samuel Garrido". Grasp despair with both hands And taste the unbearable weight of Earth Hang yourself in the dreadest feeling Cause nothing shall be as before No more! Those nights shall be dark and painful A whole season in suffering A grave to fall in - A coffin to lie on Just a hopeless crave, for rest will never come The hunger is calling thee Let's feed this aching vice And lay with death every day and every night This world became your tomb You are here, you must give up On this tired soul and grieving heart Those nights shall be dark and painful A whole season in suffering This cage of flesh, so wounded and wrecked The course of our fall Loneliness to heal the sick The oath of misery Embrace the sickness, the source of all your doom It's the only way to cure yourself from this degradation womb Life has come to break us, you don't need a savior Just leave it all tonight. Just live and let it die The rooms of mind unlocked: repulse, disgust and fear Before its broken doors, our light just disappears

Wake up, it's time to die! Tears disappear in the rain I know, that silent sight Release me from the pain I hope to see the light So boldly I fought Battle turns to night In between I'm caught If you see me coming, you see death walking If you see me coming, get away if you can First me then there's God Pray me to be free To a lake I'll spill your blood I'm coming and hell is coming with me If you see me coming, you see death walking If you see me coming, get away if you can Get away, get away if you can If you see me coming Get away, if you see me coming You see death, death walking *(Originally written and performed by Spiritus Mortis)

about

After 8 years of silence, mourning and distress, here we are again! Stubborn old bastards honoring the endless cult of TRUE DOOM METAL!

We humbly present “Morningstar”, an EP featuring two brand new songs plus a sincere homage to one of the most important Finnish Doom bands ever – SPIRITUS MORTIS (HAIL SUOMI PERKELE!!!)

If you’re still with us, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

✝ DOOM METAL IS STILL DEAD - WE ARE JUST OBSTINATE GHOSTS ✝

With True Love,
Witchlover and Vitus.
