The Witching Hour AUS Biography
Treading the fine line between rock and metal with metaphoric steel capped-boots and big riffs, Australian rock band, The Witching Hour summon and transcend a modern gothic rock sound like no other. In the words of Dave Ruby Howe (Australia’s premier youth radio station - Triple J), “This turns my bones to dust and my blood to sludge”.
The Witching Hour are celebrating the success of their single “Sleep With The Stars”, with the track organically amassing over 1.2 Million Streams through Spotify’s playlist placement. The Single has also received radio play in Australia, UK, and the US. In addition, the track was selected by Alice Cooper to be featured on his program “Nights with Alice Cooper” on Triple M Radio Station.
The Witching Hour’s most recent single - Nihilistic Anthem ‘Gen Z’ continues to gain momentum. Upon the release of the track, UK Print Music Magazine ERB reached out and featured The Witching Hour in a double-page editorial.
With strong global attention on all platforms and several Triple J Unearthed chart toppers, The Witching Hour have been in the studio making some magick and will be releasing new music in 2024.
