WITCHOUSE 40K

WARHAMMER & THE SWARM

Witchouse 40k is a trap metal and shadow rap artist born and based in Portland, Oregon, whose name was inspired by the Warhammer 40k universe, a fitting reference for someone who builds his sound like a siege. Rooted in his earlier days playing in punk bands and a long obsession with dark underground music, he brings a gritty, atmospheric intensity to everything he makes, layering horror themes over eerie, heavy production with a voice that is immediately recognizable.

He debuted in 2018 with Warhammer and has been relentless since, building out a deep catalog that includes KILLRADICAL (2019), 40 Years of Rain, Bad Strains Tape, and Blood Bender Mixtape (all 2020), LEFT FOR DEAD (2023), and his 2025 full-length Ghostlands. Beyond his solo work he is a founding member of the Haunted House collective, founder of Hellhound Militia, and the leader of the SWARM movement, making him one of the more organizationally central figures in the dark underground rap scene on the West Coast.
