Witch Taint

Witch Taint is a comedic black metal band that was formed as a parody of the genre's extreme and often grim aesthetic. The group was created by comedian and musician Dave Hill, who adopted the persona of Lance the King of Black Metal. Witch Taint's act involves a blend of music and comedy, with performances that include both live music and humorous banter. The band's shtick revolves around the idea that they are the most extreme and "kvlt" (a term used within the black metal community to refer to music or bands that are considered authentically underground) band ever, despite their clearly tongue-in-cheek approach. Their performances and recordings often feature intentionally over-the-top lyrics and stage antics designed to satirize the genre while still showing an affectionate understanding of its tropes. While Witch Taint may not be as widely known as more serious black metal acts, they have carved out a niche for themselves among fans who appreciate both metal music and comedy.
