Simon and Emily of The Lamp of Thoth formed Arkham Witch in 2008. They recorded a five-song demo that was very well received. After sharing a stage together in many different heavy metal outfits throughout the years, Aldo ?Dodo' Delarose, (of the legendary Maltese thrash band Manslaughter, and more recently Yorkshire thrash titans Let ?em Burn!) and Johnny ?The Demon' Demaine were recruited so that the band could play live.
After a triumphant appearance at the warm up show for the Dublin Doom Day, and a confirmed opening slot on the upcoming Hammer of Doom festival in Germany, some furious song writing sessions have produced their debut album ?On Crom's Mountain' which is to be released shortly by the German label Barbarian Wrath.
The band has a traditional heavy metal sound that incorporates a lot of doomy elements, lovecraftian references, and unashamedly worships in the church of the old school.
