Life's vastness, encompassing expanding space and infinite time, resides within consciousness, offering the only aperture into reality despite the vanishing nature of individual human existence on historical and cosmic scales. This paradox is central to Bell Witch's music, as the Pacific Northwestern doom metal band challenges conventional expectations by crafting songs that move at a glacial pace, creating a trancelike eternity that defies resolution and invites listeners into a time outside of time.

With their latest album, The Clandestine Gate, Bell Witch pushes boundaries further by presenting an 83-minute single track that pulsates and breathes on a filmic timeframe, expanding upon the immersive experience introduced in their acclaimed 2017 release, Mirror Reaper. This new composition marks the beginning of a planned triptych of longform albums titled Future's Shadow, as bassist Dylan Desmond and drummer Jesse Shreibman continue to explore boundlessness and claustrophobia within their music, offering an oasis from our frenetic media culture.
