The Death Spell is a New Zealand-based rock band from Auckland, founded in 2021. Their raw, retro-inspired style blends elements of heavy metal, psychedelic rock, and stoner rock, drawing on the sounds of the 70s hard rock and heavy metal era with a contemporary edge.
The band self-produced and released their debut album on December 24, 2023. Recorded by Dero of Malevolence and mixed by Oz (guitarist-vocalist), the self-titled album, with its minimalist lineup, proto-raw sound, occult themes, and strong lyrics, quickly gained popularity among doom and stoner rock fans worldwide.
In 2024, The Death Spell’s lineup changed with Boot, formerly of Sticky Filth, on drums, and Bruno, from Ratso, on bass guitar, taking the place of previous members. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
