Witchorious is a doom metal band from Chelles in France. Formed by the end of 2019 as a necessity, the band is composed of Antoine Auclair (guitar / vocals) and brother and sister Paul (drums) and Lucie Gaget (bass / vocals). Their music blends bluesy riffs inherited from Black Sabbath, aggressive sounds supported by fuzzy bass lines in the likes of Electric Wizard, and intense atmospheres inspired by bands like Amenra and Mastodon. All this led by adventurous and solid drums, spawning modern chaotic doom metal songs with enraged vocals. Between screams and whispers, Antoine and Lucie’s voices have us travel from incantations to outpouring of despair. Each track is a dive into the darkness of the mind, where even the most adventurous will remain unanswer. Dying to met their audience, the band recently opened for The Wytches in Paris and Westill Fest in November 2023. Their debut album, was recorded in December 2022 in Paris by french metal producer, Francis Caste. It will be released on February 16th 2024 by Italian label Argonauta Records. The album contains 10 tracks that address psychic duality, human vice, and the inevitable fate of the world along with hellish fuzzy riffs.
About the new single : "The witch represent the oppressed and rebel figure. She is both captivating and scary, because of it's mysterious and marginal personality. "She acts by her own beliefs and represents for us, a symbol of freedom. No matter how much you want to kill her, she always survives within the beliefs, legends and popular stories" explains the band."

![WHITE TUNDRA - Kultarberget (official video) [Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/J7V-3-hqa9E/mqdefault.jpg "WHITE TUNDRA - Kultarberget (official video) [Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records]
Norwegian heavy rock voyagers White Tundra announce the release of the new single and videoclip for the song Kultarberget. The track anticipates the band’s upcoming album “Stories from the Dark”, out on April 24th 2026 in deluxe vinyl and digital formats via Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records.
“Kultarberget” represents a powerful new chapter in the sonic journey of White Tundra, blending hypnotic riffs, massive grooves and evocative atmospheres rooted in Scandinavian mystique. The song expands the band’s signature sound, balancing dusty desert rock influences with darker doom laden tones and a strong sense of narrative tension.
“Stories from the Dark” marks the second full length release by White Tundra and follows their acclaimed self titled debut from 2023. The album was written and recorded between 2024 and 2025 and captures a period of transformation and consolidation for the band.
White Tundra comment on the album:
“We started working on this album early 2024 when Kjell Andres joined on lead guitars. He had been piling up ideas for a while and came into the band with fresh blood and energy. After a while, Øyvind joined on bass and we really started to focus on writing in the summer of 2024.
Rhys Marsh at Automnsongs Recording Studio, where we recorded our first album, contacted us around this time and we decided to continue the work with him as a producer for the next album.
Many songs were in the loop for this album, but we settled on these final six tracks as the ones who fit best together. The winter and spring were used for demoing and pre productions, and Ola hit the studio first, recording the drums in mid July. Bass, guitar and vocals were recorded during two consecutive weeks in August.
The music has partly been written after the lyrics, often starting with creating the chorus and main mood of the songs and building on the songs from there. Other songs were partly finished musically before the lyrics fell into place.
Ola has written all the lyrics for this album, with the help from singer Steven to adapt them to the music. Thematically it takes off where the previous album ended, with lyrics about escaping from society, the unknown around us and a bit of local folklore. The album ending track White Tundra tries to explain the whole soul and story of the band, describing the journey from the inspirational desert rock, ending in the white, stormy Tundra.”
“Stories from the Dark” was produced and mixed by Rhys Marsh at Automnssongs Recording Studio and mastered by Joona Hassinen at Studio Underjord.
