Bell Witch is a doom metal duo that was formed in Seattle, Washington in 2010 by drummer Adrian Guerra and bassist/vocalist Dylan Desmond. Known for their minimalist yet powerful approach to the genre, Bell Witch has captivated audiences and critics alike with their immersive soundscapes and relentless intensity. Their music is characterized by slow tempos, somber melodies, and a hauntingly sparse arrangement that often features just bass, vocals, and drums, with occasional expansion into other instrumentation.

Their discography explores themes of loss, sorrow, and timelessness, often unfolding over lengthy, meticulously-structured compositions. The band's third full-length album, "Mirror Reaper," released in 2017, is a single-track opus spanning nearly 83 minutes and serves as a profound epitome of their craft. It was followed by the collaborative album "Stygian Bough Volume I" in 2020 with dark folk artist Aerial Ruin, showcasing a broader sonic palate while maintaining the deep emotional gravitas of their earlier work. Bell Witch's approach to doom metal is unique and transcendent, positioning them not merely as musicians within a genre but as architects of profound auditory experiences. With each release, beginning with their impactful "Demo 2011" to the latest "Future's Shadow Part 1: The Clandestine Gate," they continue to push the boundaries of heavy music, offering listeners a bridge to the ethereal.
