Oakland stoner metal trio White Witch Canyon have just reissued their long out-of-print 2008 self-titled debut album as part of the Ripple Music’s revered “Beneath The Desert Floor” vinyl series.
Following the Glitter Wizard and The Awesome Machine album reissues, Ripple Music keeps forging ahead with their “Beneath The Desert Floor” vinyl series, unearthing long-lost treasures from the early days of stoner rock. This third chapter presents the unique album from Oakland-based stoner doom trio WHITE WITCH CANYON. With enough fuzz in their DNA to shake the earth, “White Witch Canyon” is nine groove-laden earworms filled with muscular bluesy overtones and a powerful swagger reminiscent of early Monster Magnet and Soundgarden.

WHITE WITCH CANYON formed in 2007 out of the ashes of several heavy bands, with Lando (Greenhouse Effect) on guitar and vocals, Crete (SpiralArms) on drums and vocals and Cornbread (Viscous Rumors) on bass. The band entered the studio twice between February and July 2008 to record their first and only LP “White Witch Canyon”. The album was therefore pressed to 500 copies and released by Berlin independent label Kozmic Artifacts. The trio has toured from coast to coast, including performances at Stoner Hands of Doom’s 10th anniversary in Maryland and SXSW 2009 in Austin. They opened for bands such as High on Fire, Early Man, Super Giant, Dirt Communion and many others in the heavy and stoner rock scene.
About reissuing “White Witch Canyon” this summer, the band says: “All of us from the band are thrilled to have our only album reissued by Ripple Music! Through his label, Todd Severin has always been a great purveyor and champion of solid heavy music. We couldn’t think of any better situation than having Ripple Music deliver this album to vinyl addicts worldwide!”
