Witchorious is a doom metal band from Paris, France. Founded in 2019, the trio is composed of Antoine Auclair (guitar / vocals), and brother and sister Paul (drums) and Lucie (bass / vocals) Gaget. Their first two singles “3 AM” and “Evil Creature” came out of darkness in 2020.
Their music blends bluesy riffs inherited from Black Sabbath, aggressive sounds supported by fuzzy bass lines in the likes of Electric Wizard, and intense atmospheres inspired by bands like
Amenra and Mastodon. All this led by adventurous and solid drums, spawning modern and chaotic doom songs with enraged vocals. Between screams and whispers, Antoine and Lucie’s voices take us from incantations to outpouring of despair. Each theme will immerse you in the darkness of your mind, where you will keep looking for answers.
Dying to meet their audience, Witchorious play more and more gigs, opening for the greatest bands (The Wytches, Bongzilla, Mars Red Sky, Hippie Death Cult) and appearing in many festivals (Westill, Grand Paris Sludge, Graf Zeppelin, Metal Hunting Open Air, Mennecy Metal Fest). Witchorious’ debut album was recorded in Paris at Studio Sainte-Marthe by Francis Caste and was released on February, 16th 2024 through Italian label Argonauta Records. The album addresses psychic duality, human vice, and the inevitable fate of the world along with hellish fuzzy riffs.
