Gravewitch Unleashes “Damnable Evil” with New Lyric Video
Blackened thrash metal duo Gravewitch has made waves with the release of their official lyric video for “Damnable Evil,” the second single from their self-titled full-length album, Gravewitch, which premiered in June via Rock Sun Records.
A Visual Journey into Madness
The lyric video for “Damnable Evil”, crafted by Kenji of Tsunami Films & Narcotic Wasteland, serves as an intense visual counterpart that enhances the song’s exploration of psychological trauma and the grim realities of early 20th-century asylums. The track delves into the harrowing experiences of those confined to these institutions, bringing to life the fear and mistreatment they endured.
Musical Composition and Themes
Musically, Gravewitch delivers their signature blackened thrash sound interwoven with a heavier, groove-driven foundation. This immersive composition complements the song’s descent into madness. Chris Fleming (Guitar/Vocals/Bass) reflects, “The instrumentation captures what the lyrics are explaining. It’s different from the rest of the album, but still very much us.”
About Gravewitch
Formed in 2013 amidst the high desert of Bend, Oregon, Gravewitch consists of Chris Fleming and Andrew Ingraham, who have spent over a decade crafting their unique style of blackened thrash—fast, melodic, atmospheric, and undeniably heavy. Their influences include renowned bands like Kreator, Amon Amarth, and Dark Funeral, yet they have forged a sound that is distinctly their own.
Self-Titled Album Overview
Their self-titled album, released on June 18, 2025, is hailed as their most ambitious and polished effort to date. Written during the global uncertainties of 2020, the album explores a myriad of dark themes including war, witchcraft, sleep paralysis, and the notorious serial killer H.H. Holmes. Each of the ten tracks embodies a unique journey, reflecting the chaotic energy of the time they were created.
Fleming notes, “This is our first professional recording where listeners can truly hear the sound we’ve been striving for. Every song takes the audience on a different journey. We wanted this album to be an adventure.” Their reputation as a duo capable of delivering a sound akin to a five-piece band is further solidified with this release.
Live Performances and Growing Reputation
Since their inception, Gravewitch has established themselves as a formidable presence in the Pacific Northwest metal scene, sharing stages with acts such as Warbringer and Goatwhore. Their intense, tightly executed live performances have garnered them a dedicated following and a respected spot in the underground music community.
Independence and DIY Ethos
Despite their rising success, Gravewitch remains fiercely independent. Fleming manages most of the instrumentation for their releases, while both members closely collaborate on themes, structure, and songwriting. This DIY ethos has been integral to their identity from the very start.
