England's ARKHAM WITCH return with their second album, Legions Of The Deep, which will be released on November 9th through Metal On Metal Records.

Those who know the previous works of the band know their personal take on NWOBHM, traditional heavy and doom metal. Lyrically the album features the familiar weird pulp fiction obsessions, Lovecraftian monsters, Howardian heroes, underground occultism, killer cyborgs and zombie cowboys, and musically it strides the frequencies between bands like DEEP SWITCH, HELL, WITCHFINDER GENERAL, JUDAS PRIEST, PENTAGRAM, SAINT VITUS, MANILLA ROAD, CIRITH UNGOL and of course THE LAMP OF THOTH, the former band of Arkham Witch vocalist Simon and drummer Emily.

A teaser for the album, featuring a fragment of the title track (which features additional vocals by Leo Stivala of Maltese doom metal veterans FORSAKEN), can be seen below:

A short clip documenting the recording session that took place on June 23rd in the studio of Chris Grech (NOMAD SON) in Mellieha, Malta, can be seen below:
