The Witching Hour Unearths

Written by Atomic Newsroom on 9 March 2020

I want you to take five minutes away from your Netflix and attempted “chill” session, get off your couch and step outside for a minute. Now close your eyes and listen really hard.

Do you hear that?!?

That is the sound of a Central Coast bands front man wailing his haunting voice through your soul and screaming their way to the top of the charts…

Hailing from the Central Coast of NSW, The Witching Hour are a Hard Rock/Grunge band filled with abrasive guitars, haunting vocals and a rhythm section they claim “pummels through all in its way without a sign of mercy”.

The band formed in early 2018 touring relentlessly since dropping their debut single “Lay You Down”. The single topped a particular music chart that we can’t name because we have our own 😉 (hint hint, sign up Witching Hour gents) and their genesis of a new kind of hell begun!

In May 2019, they followed up with the single “Under My Skin” which came with a heavier vibe, new sound and a banging film clip that made me relive the 90’s success of bands like “Silverchair” and “Her Tortured Embrace”.

SO… Why are we featuring these guys!? Well apart from the fact they made the top 20 Most Listened to Bands on the Unearthed Radio Rounds in 2019… Last week, they hit a hat-trick and smashed out their third number 1 single “The Ritual” and fell onto our writers radar!

The boys are off on a tour up and down the east coast of Australia at the moment and just finished a run around Melbourne throwing down to some HUGE shows. These guys are 100% a band you need to keep on your radar!
