The Witching Hour

THE WITCHING HOUR are back at THE HAMO Newcastle for a Hellraiser! on Saturday 7th September 2024.
 
Come on down to The Hamo for a night of Metal, Grunge and Rock!
 
Treading the fine line between rock and metal with metaphoric steel capped-boots and big riffs, The Witching Hour summon and transcend a modern gothic rock sound like no other. In the words of Dave Ruby Howe (Triple J),“This turns my bones to dust and my blood to sludge”.
Forming back in 2018, The Witching Hour, spent much of their early years playing venues across Newcastle and they’re stoked to be back! They’re celebrating the success of their single “Sleep With The Stars”, with the track organically amassing over 1.3 Million Streams through Spotify’s own 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 ‘Gen Z’ continues to gain momentum. Upon the release of Gen Z, 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 are currently in the studio and are looking forward to releasing new music in the coming months.
