South Carolina-based sludge metal warriors WITCHPIT unleash their bone-crushing new single and video “Through Eyes Of Apathy” via No Clean Singing today. Their new album “Forever Spoken” comes out on November 8th via Heavy Psych Sounds.
“Denny Stone has a hell of an intensely impassioned voice, which ranges between jagged bay-at-the-moon wails and the screams of someone being strangled with barbed wire but still trying to get at his executioner’s throat.” No Clean Singing

About the song, the band says: “Through Eyes of Apathy explores the theme of making a bold decision to abandon one’s past, relationships, and familiar surroundings. It captures the struggle of breaking free from emotional ties and the desire for a fresh start. The lyrics reflect the tension between nostalgia and the need for change, ultimately celebrating the courage it takes to forge a new path.“
“Forever Spoken” is a powerful exploration of humanity’s quest to leave a lasting legacy: the album delves into the trials, adversities, and struggles that shape our journey and challenge our ability to fulfill our destiny. Venturing into the realms of southern metal and sludge, it features intricate riffs and heavy metal double bass rhythms that elevate its intensity and complexity.
The album was recorded with the esteemed Phillip Cope (Kylesa, Baroness, Black Tusk), who returns to mix the record after his successful previous collaboration with the band. To complement the depth of the music and lyrics, the band enlisted the legendary Dan Seagrave (Morbid Angel, Gorguts, Suffocation) for the cover art. His iconic style perfectly captures the complexity and essence of “Forever Spoken,” making this collaboration a significant milestone for the band. Stream the album’s debut single “Forever Spoken“!
