Burnt Witch Featured In Weedian ’s Best Releases of February With Crushing EP Dopelich

West Tennessee – West Tennessee doom and sludge four-piece Burnt Witch continue to make waves in the underground heavy scene as their latest EP Dopelich has been featured in Weedian ’s Best Releases of February list.

Known throughout the doom and stoner metal community for spotlighting the heaviest releases from across the globe, Weedian highlighted Burnt Witch for their suffocating riffs, occult atmosphere, and unmistakable Southern grit.

Released independently on February 13, 2026 , Dopelich delivers a dense wall of fuzz-drenched bass, monolithic riffing, cavernous drums, and vocals that shift from blues-soaked melodies to feral screams. Rooted in the traditions of classic doom while soaked in the swampy spirit of West Tennessee, the EP channels the oppressive weight and hypnotic groove that fans of the genre crave.

Drawing inspiration from bands like Electric Wizard , Crowbar , and Eyehategod , Burnt Witch create songs that feel summoned rather than written. The band blends bleak atmospheres, crushing sludge grooves, and ritualistic pacing into a sound that is immersive, heavy, and impossible to ignore.

Early reactions to the EP have already been turning heads across the underground:

“Move over Electric Wizard, here comes Burnt Witch!”
– Reaper’s Underground, Black Flame Entertainment & Tracks of the Damned Podcast

“Doom is not supposed to save the world. It is supposed to scorch it one riff at a time.”
– Zach Moonshine, Metal Devastation Radio

“Dopelich will take you on a ride that will leave you feeling like you are deep in Occult ritual, begging for more.”
– Cody Gray, Defiler Magazine & Tracks of the Damned Podcast

Burnt Witch have also appeared on The Zach Moonshine Show via Metal Devastation Radio and on Tracks of the Damned Podcast , further solidifying their presence in the global underground metal community.

Fans of Electric Wizard , Weedeater , Crowbar , Eyehategod , Down , and Superjoint Ritual will find plenty of crushing riffs to sink into with Dopelich .
