Once upon a time in a small village located in the heart of a densely forested area, there lived a mysterious and feared figure known as the Bog Tit Witch. The villagers, trembling at the mention of her name, believed she possessed supernatural powers and was able to put curses on anyone who crossed her path. The legend had it that the Bog Tit Witch was a cursed being, once a beautiful maiden who had been wronged by the villagers. It was said that in her youth, she had fallen in love with a young man from the village. However, due to societal norms and the disapproval of their families, their love remained forbidden. Unable to bear the heartache, the young maiden ventured into the forest and stumbled upon an ancient sacred site.
Unable to bear the heartache, the young maiden ventured into the forest and stumbled upon an ancient sacred site. Angered and heartbroken, she cursed the villagers, vowing to bring misery upon them until the end of time. From that day forward, the village experienced relentless misfortunes.
Album Stream: Getting Tipsy on WitchTit’s “Intoxicating Lethargy”
It’s not easy coming up with a solid band name, especially with metal being well into middle-age and the countless numbers of bands that have existed, that presently exist and will exist in the coming future trying to perfectly represent their sound and style using a word or three. Still, I find myself often sporting a presumptive and solid hate-on for the vast number of newer bands that burst from the gate waving an uncreative red flag via the unremarkable step of adding a random word to either “Witch” or “Goat” as their introduction to the broader world. Until now, that is. This Raleigh, NC quintet absolutely gets a mulligan because, c’mon, WitchTit as a moniker is awesomely hilarious in its hilarious awesomeness. There might even be some deeper meaning at play about the bosom of witches providing life via breast milk to humanity’s darker side or some sort of conceptual jabberwocky, but no matter which way you slice it, the name WitchTit certainly jumps off the page.
What’s also pretty awesome and jumps out of the speakers is the band’s collision of metals of doom, stoner and sludge on their debut full-length, Intoxicating Lethargy, a stream of which we’re presenting today. Below, you can pay first-hand witness to how they tap into the DNA of classic doom of Candlemass, the abrasive and greasy wailing of Rwake and the bluesy swagger of Witch Mountain (yeah, yeah…) and how vocalist Reign ties it all together with soaring, soulful pipes. Here’s what the band had to say on the eve of the release of their debut:
“We are pleased to announce our anticipated debut album, Intoxicating Lethargy. Prepare yourself to be dragged to the depths of struggle, resistance and mental strife, only to emerge stronger than before. Dark story telling will take you through time and across our country to all of the places these battles exist. In the fight for more, remember that too much is almost as bad as not enough, don’t fall prey to the Intoxicating Lethargy…”
Too many ‘Witch’ bands, we can do without, but there’s no getting enough WitchTit!
Intoxicating Lethargy will be released independently on March 12th (that’s tomorrow!). Check below for contacts and ordering info:

Crops failed, livestock mysteriously died, and sickness plagued the villagers. It was believed that these calamities were all caused by the wrath of the Bog Tit Witch, who had grown bitter and resentful over the years. The villagers lived in constant fear, never daring to incur the witch's wrath. They avoided traveling near the forest and kept their children away from the witch's territory. However, curiosity and desperation often led some villagers to seek the witch's help. It was whispered that the witch had the ability to heal, foretell the future, and even grant wishes. These rare encounters with the witch would leave the villagers both terrified and in awe of her powers. Despite their fear, some brave villagers attempted to lift the curse by traversing into the depths of the forest to confront the Bog Tit Witch. However, none ever returned, and it was believed that they had fallen victim to the witch's dark magic. As generations passed, many began to see the curse as a mere legend, while others held onto their fear and offered sacrifices to appease the witch. However, no matter how the villagers viewed the legend, one thing remained certain - the Bog Tit Witch continued to be a symbol of fear and mysticism in the village. Whether the Bog Tit Witch was a vengeful curse or simply a misunderstood and lonely being, the truth was lost to time. For now, the villagers continued to live in the shadow of the witch, forever tormented by the legend and the weight of the curse..
Reviews for "The Bog Tit Witch: A Journey into Darkness"
1. John Smith - 1 star
"The Big Tit Witch" was incredibly offensive and disrespectful towards women. The title itself is degrading and objectifying, and it sets the tone for the entire film. The storyline lacked depth and substance, relying heavily on explicit scenes rather than developing compelling characters or a meaningful plot. I found it to be a tasteless and vulgar film that I would not recommend to anyone.
2. Emily Thompson - 2 stars
I was disappointed with "The Big Tit Witch" as it failed to deliver on its promise of being a captivating horror film. The excessive use of nudity and explicit content overshadowed any potential scares or suspense. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked any real development, making it difficult to empathize or connect with them. Overall, it was a shallow and underwhelming movie that failed to live up to its potential.
3. David Johnson - 1 star
"The Big Tit Witch" was a complete waste of time. The juvenile humor and crude sexual innuendos were more annoying than entertaining. It seemed like the filmmakers were solely focused on shock value rather than delivering a compelling story or well-executed scares. The acting was subpar, and the special effects were laughable. I regret watching this film and would strongly advise others to avoid it.
