CLOSE THE HATCH's Modern Witchcraft Album Out This Friday!

Independent of strict classification, yet beholden to the lineage of conceptual metal, CLOSE THE HATCH stride confidently in the footsteps of post and doom metal heavyweights like Neurosis and Isis yet emote with a conviction that’s distinctly their own. With six studio albums under their proverbial belts since their 2011 conception, CLOSE THE HATCH has shown continual evolution in sound and structure, exploring darker avenues of punishing riffs while seamlessly intertwining atmosphere, melody, and ethereal elements over the course of their musical output.

Modern Witchcraft will be released on CD and digitally on May 22nd via Red Moth. For preorders visit the CLOSE THE HATCH Bandcamp page at THIS LOCATION: closethehatch.bandcamp.com/album/modern-witchcraft and all other streaming outlets HERE: distrokid.com/hyperfollow/closethehatch/modern-witchcraft

“Though ‘Attunement’ may bear the hallmarks of classic post-metal songwriting – the heavy/light dichotomy, emotional vocal stylings and a driving rhythm beneath bleak, doomy riffs intertwined with just a bit of melody, but the opening riff draws more comparisons to a twisted version of Deftones. It does not much help that vocalist/guitarist Steve of house B.’s vocals on the chorus resemble a distorted Chino Moreno doing a Chritus Lindersson impersonation. Help being a misleading expression, as the impression is one of CLOSE THE HATCH’s strongest weapons, and quite easily sets them apart from their immediate peers.” -- Toilet Ov Hell on "Attunement"
