GROAN: The Obelisk Streams "Witchfinder General Finder" From Cheeky English Doom 'N' Roll Jokesters' New EP

The cheekiest of doom bands, London's GROAN, have confirmed themselves as the number one party-stoner band in the UK and returned with a new EP, Highrospliffics (recorded by Sam Thredder of Slabdragger), which will be available via FREE digital download on March 23 via the group's Bandcamp.
Today, you can hear the first single "Witchfinder General Finder" (and
answer the age-old question, "Who do you call when you can't find the
Witchfinder General?") on The Obelisk. Careful...these riffs will likely
get stuck in your head for weeks.

Find the "Witchfinfer General Finder" at THIS LOCATION.

In case you missed it, you can also watch the hilarious (and potentially illegal) trailer for Highrospliffics, featuring music from their track "Run Out Of Fucks" HERE.

If you're a stranger to the Spinal Tap-esque history of Groan, here it
is: Groan were formed in 2010 and put a few demos online that rapidly
caught the stoner/doom scene’s attention. They released their first
album, The Sleeping Wizard, on Doomanoid Records that year. The
band soon earned a reputation as an exciting, entertaining
and completely ridiculous force live, with charismatic (and generally
barefoot) lead singer Mazzereth acting as ringmaster general at gigs.
Confused and amused fans soon grew to know this group as a party-doom
band that is high and giggling, not a stoner rock band that is tuned-out
and derivative. 

In the nine months after the album was released, the band played live
all over the country, smoked the GDP of a small African nation, wrote
off a brand new Ferrari California, decorated their rehearsal room with
gifts from hookers, and even split up and re-formed in a day. After a
split EP with Finnish doomers Vinum Sabbatum in 2011, Groan‘s second
album was released in 2012 by Dutch label Soulseller Records, The Divine Right of Kings, to great critical acclaim. 

With new members Zel Kaute (Vodun, ex-Pettybone) and Mike Pilat
(ex-Ocean Collective) joining on drums and guitar respectively, the band
took a heavy metal sidestep with their five track EP, Ride the Snake,
in late 2013. With yet another new lineup in 2014, Groan went back into
the studio with founder members Mazzereth (vocals) and Leigh Jones
(bass) joined by long-time drummer Zel Kaute and new guitarist Lindsay
Hamilton. Across their five releases,
Groan have proven their ability to write songs that marry catchy hooks
with heavy riffs and plan to dominate 2015 with the release of
Highrospliffics and the destruction of many live music venues.

Mazzereth - Vocals
