Various - Beyond The Body

In celebration of WITCH-HOUSE.com's 15th anniversary, I released a new compilation titled "Beyond The Body", with tracks inspired by body horror movies. This latest release is a testament to the spirit and diversity of the witch house genre. The project features an incredible and eclectic lineup of artists - Ghost Mirror, Writhing, Tenderness of Wolves, Ourobonic Plague, Silence Embrace, Humanfobia, STRFLL, Cosmic Wildling, Voidscan, Zazie Productions, Textbeak, Skøgen, I††, MORGVE, ßęđŧīmĕ Šŧōŗĩėş, and Marth Daul - each contributing uniquely unsettling and atmospheric tracks, spanning a wide range of styles. With witch house at its core, the compilation pulses with elements of dark ambient, ghost drone, industrial, and noise, pushing the boundaries of experimental sound and genre fusion.

I†† - Caput Mortuum

I††'s "Caput Mortuum" was originally released on CDR back in 2011 by the German witch house label Black Bus Records (founded by Silver Strain). After 14 years, the band decided to share a digital version of the EP and uploaded it to their Bandcamp. This may be my favourite reissue of 2025 so far! I†† found a perfect spot between otherworldly drones, tons of reverb and pulsing beats. It's hard not to pick up some of their influences, ranging from Angelo Badalamenti to MSV, but these are tastefully translated into original and haunting compositions. The opening "Zombie D△nse" is a such a joyful intro, slowww zombie rave, simple yet super catchy and melodic. The middle of the EP is way gloomier, faded and menacing, like a dazed stroll through hell, ending with pulsating dubs of the underworld in "St△nd". There's also a bonus tracks "Satanis", which cleverly completes the EP, coming full circle by once again invoking dragged zombie rave vibes. Really awesome release.

I†† - Barashakushu (Ghost Mirror Remix)

Ghost Mirror has been fairly quiet since his debut EP for Vertigo Cult a year ago, so it's a nice surprise to see this remix pop up on my Soundcloud feed today. "Barashakushu" comes from one of I††'s earliest EPs, "Preliminary Invocations", released by AMDISCS back in 2010. In this updated interpretation, GM mutates the original noise production into a ghost drone/witch house composition with an industrial-synth spin. Apparently, there's more tracks to come, so watch this space. Stream the remix here, currently there's no download option.
