Plug in and prepare to be possessed. The debut single “Witch Doctor” from the new collaborative project Dead Heroes straight-up casts a spell on you. This is a track that oozes from the speakers, a voodoo-soaked alt-rock incantation built on pure, undiluted groove and menace. Forging a new path from the seasoned talents of Harry Young (of Solcura, Myridia, Fall of An Empire) and Zoot Hill Valler (from DELTORERS, Mischa and His Merry Men), Dead Heroes arrives fully formed, sounding like a band that’s been holding a residency in your favourite shadowy club for years.

Here’s what’s brilliant about this collaboration. Young and Valler aren’t rookies—they’re scene veterans who’ve thrown their distinct energies into the pot with real purpose. What comes out is a killer blend of desert rock grit and dark, hypnotic swagger that’ll have you hooked. “Witch Doctor” slinks in on a haze of snarling guitar riffs and a bass line that prowls. The track takes its sweet time, circling the listener with a patient, almost predatory rhythm before sinking its teeth in with unshakable hooks. It’s a slow-burn that feels dangerous and addictive, a credit to the duo’s sharp musical chemistry.

“Witch Doctor” is one hell of a debut – confident and spectacular. This track wraps you up in smoke and rhythm, casting its spell and leaving you hungry for more. Dead Heroes have planted their flag with a skull and crossbones, claiming their spot. So kill the lights, wind this baby up, and let the ritual begin.
