The Pacific Northwest is about to get even darker — in a beautiful, glacially slow way. Revered doom collaborators Bell Witch and Aerial Ruin have announced a December tour across their home territory in celebration of Stygian Bough Vol. II, the long-awaited continuation of their acclaimed 2020 release. The new album drops November 14 via Profound Lore, giving fans just enough time to memorize every sorrowful chord before the lights dim.
Commenting on the trek, Bell Witch’s Dylan Desmond shared:
“A run of shows in the Pacific Northwest, our home, is perfect for the first performances of material from the new Stygian Bough album. In so many ways, the songs belong here.”
Indeed — fog, forests, and the sound of eternity stretching into minor chords seem like their natural habitat.
Tour Dates:
Dec 10 – Portland, OR – Star Theater
Dec 11 – Eugene, OR – John Henry’s
Dec 12 – Bellingham, WA – The Shakedown
Dec 13 – Seattle, WA – Clockout Lounge
Dec 14 – Vancouver, BC – The Pearl
The duo recently unveiled “Waves Became the Sky,” the first single from Stygian Bough Vol. II — a slow-motion spiritual collapse of melody and weight that feels like staring into the ocean until it stares back. The album arrives as a limited edition 2xLP vinyl and CD, perfect for those who believe grief should sound analog.
