Blackened doom metal concert featuring Temple of the Fuzz Witch, with Xasthur and Bong Wizard.
Temple of the Fuzz Witch play The End on Friday, October 9, with Xasthur and Bong Wizard opening. It's a blackened doom metal bill, so the whole night stays in that same heavy, slow-moving territory. The Houston date is one stop on a six-date tour that kicks off October 8 in New Orleans and runs through December 5 in Brooklyn.
Temple of the Fuzz Witch comes from Detroit, and they describe their own sound as blackened doom metal. The riffs and lyrics are described as bleak and crushing as a Michigan winter, which gives you a pretty clear idea of where they're coming from—slow, heavy, and leaning into the colder side of the spectrum. If you're trying to place them, they fit in with acts like Sleep, Windhand, Acid Bath, Weedeater, Conan, Eyehategod, Crowbar, and High on Fire. That's a long list of names, but they all share that same low-end, sludge-driven weight, so if any of those are in your rotation, this is right in that wheelhouse.

With Xasthur and Bong Wizard on the bill, the night is built around that same blackened doom sound from start to finish. It's not a mixed bill where you'll be jumping between genres; it's a full evening of the same kind of heavy. The show starts at 7 PM at The End, 7126 Lawndale St, in Houston.
