The Seattle based, progressive sludge unit WITCH RIPPER has launched the pre-order options for itsimpending “Homestead” album release.
More on that in a moment, as there are several other related news items to share with you. It has been six long years since the band released their self-titled EP in 2012, now they are poised to return with ‘Homestead‘ from DHU Records on Sept. 13th (digitally) and Sept. 28th (vinyl).
“The Witch” is the first single to arrive from the album, coming to us via a lyric video which makes great use of the ‘Homestead‘ album art created by Nightjar Illustration – Adam Burke (Ice Dragon, The Golden Grass).
The Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Burnt By The Sun, The Sword) produced “Homestead” from WITCH RIPPER is available to pre-order now at D.H.U. [LINK].
