I want this album so badly. Here's the full cover if anyone wants to see a larger version.

An update from Profound Lore with info on the tracklist and some other details can be found here.

Nice artwork. Interest level ^

Bought the new cd last Thursday at Roadburn.

But apparently it hasn't been released yet. They just had it on them for the tour/gig.

Can you share?

2 lads so less instruments, just few and so complex and great music .... I think sine I know MS S and E music taste .. this album will be nominated to MS awards

This comes across as much more melancholic than Longing, which had a more savage edge to it. Definitely a worthy successor to one of my favorite doom albums of 2012, however whether or not it is as good I will leave up to subsequent listens.

This album should be prescribed to insomniacs. Still, they manage to create atmosphere. So there's that.

Boring overrated stuff with great artwork.

I will quote Marcel in this case: "son, it seems that funeral doom is not for you"

I can hardly believe this is just a bassist and a drummer...this is some amazing funeral doom. It may take a titan like Ahab to take down this release as my number 1 funeral doom album of the year (assuming Ahab's release will be a little more funeral than post).

Spun it 3 or 4 times today. I love this genre and the subtleties it has to offer.

This is definitely music that grows on you over time. My first three or so listens to this had me feeling the same way I did when I first listened to Longing: that it's good stuff, but kind of boring and repeatedly lagging at points. Now, however, I can definitely see the subtle shades of genius lurking within here. Really great, slowly built up atmosphere, and that bassist is just incredible. He plays a 6 string and puts a shit ton of effects on it, until I saw these guys at Roadburn actually I had no idea there was no guitar in the band.

Same here.
At first I thought they were one man short due to illness or something.

I guess there's still hope then, because I feel like it's kind of boring as well, after 2 spins.

They should do a side project called Well Bitch. I still need to listen to this.

Amazing album, love the mix of funeral, cleans and the minimalistic sound - indierock goes funeral.

You think everything is indie, or Satan.

I actually don't like this album. Might as well get that out the way.

Please, you havent even listened to it. Listen to Suffocation, A Drowning: II - Somniloquy (The Distance of Forever) and then tell me it isnt indie/funeral. Great album your loss.

I listened to it, and saw some of it played live. Better live, but still not great.

I missed it live but its incredible on any substance, its psychedelic parts are mindblowing. Walking (creeping) around in a big spruce forest with 50 cms of snow with this album has to be as good as it gets live.

Quality doom. And the album's art, superb.. the year's best..

So this is according to interviews the biggest influence to Desmonds bass play

I think they could be the best funeral doom band of our time

Nope, they aren't.

Yeah it's a great album, but there are tons of currently active funeral doom bands that are quite a bit better than Bell Witch

I'm still waiting for the grind/hardcore/sludge side-project titled "Well Bitch".

Imagine the amount of posts you would have in this thread if these guys where from Poland

Esoteric is my favorite funeral doom band ever, but Bell Witch has released music within the past 5 years
