Witch Mountain

Twenty-seven years ago, Witch Mountain introduced the word “doom” to the Portland music scene.

Rob Wrong (guitars) and Nate Carson (drums) began their musical partnership by founding Portland, Oregon’s first doom metal band in 1997. The intervening years saw the band bloom into an international entity with a series of acclaimed albums (issued stateside by Profound Lore) and a hearty tour schedule that included festivals like Roadburn, Hellfest, Desertfests (London and Berlin), Scion Rock Fest, and Hopscotch.

By early 2015 bassist Justin Brown and vocalist Kayla Dixon solidified the band’s greatest lineup and helped to produce new music that rocked fans both new and old. Tours followed with Enslaved, YOB, Danzig, Superjoint, Saint Vitus, Corrosion of Conformity, and triumphant appearances at the Psycho Las Vegas festival.

Witch Mountain still maintains total artistic control. The band is self-managed, self-booked, and owns its entire back catalog

Only a handful of heavy metal bands in the world are fronted by a strong black woman. Witch Mountain is proud to be among them.
