Arkham Witch hail from Keighley, West Yorkshire, England. Formed by Simon and Emily in 2009, the pair recorded a self titled demo CD-R that was very well received. Encouraged by the positive reception of the demo, John Demaine was recruited to play Bass. They were a three piece for several months, until persuading Dodo (Aldo) to complete the line-up. The band then rapidly wrote a raft of material and ventured into a studio. After many beers and arguments the debut album 'On Crom's Mountain' arrived on 04/08/2011 released thru Barbarian Wrath Records. We are now signed to Metal On Metal Records and through them so far we have released 'Legions of the Deep', 'Demos of the Deep' and 'Get Thothed Vol. 1'

Since we've started out, we've had a few changes....Kinky John has now joined Dodo for some double heavy action on Guitars and we have recruited Jay on Bass! Jayanta helped us out during a gig in Dubai, and since then we haven't managed to get rid of him!!

Sadly, Kinky John is no longer with us due to family and work commitments. He will return one day!......We have now recruited on lead guitars the talented Mr. John Hanslip. He has just done his debut gig with us at The Metal Magic Festival in Denmark and we can definitely say that we're keeping him chained to this band for good!!
