Demo 2011

Description

In the summer of 2015, Seattle doom outfit Bell Witch released “Four Phantoms” on Profound Lore Records, the much-anticipated follow-up to the band’s now classic 2012 debut, “Longing.” But “Longing” wasn’t the band’s first effort. Bell Witch first appeared in 2011 with a well-received demo simply titled “Demo 2011.” This 37-minute recording was a massive statement of intent that far outshone the “demo” status implied by the name. It was recorded by Brandon Fitzsimons (Wormwood), the same engineer who worked on the band’s debut album “Longing.” Demo 2011 showcased Bell Witch’s signature minimalist, depressing sound which has proven to be timeless, relevant, and undeniably sad. The band is heavy. The Flenser is proud to unveil this new pressing of a classic moment in contemporary American doom history.
