Ahead of their Download Festival appearance this month, hotly-tipped Essex trio, Tropic Gold, return with brand new single, ‘WITCH HOUSE’, featuring Harpy, their first for new label partner, BLKIIBLK.
“Witch House explores the all encompassing parasite of an external force consuming and trapping its victim,” share the band. “This force is experienced in many forms, Witch House addresses the relationship and connection between two people, one being the trapped, feeling they’re within a hex they cannot break.”

Tropic Gold pull from metalcore, industrial noise, electronic production and modern alternative culture without ever sitting comfortably in one lane. Self-produced and creatively self-driven, the South East trio have built early momentum through a mix of huge hooks, abrasive electronics and the kind of volatility that makes their songs feel like they could completely fall apart at any second.
Support from BBC Radio 1, Kerrang! and Rock Sound has helped push the band well beyond underground buzz, while tours alongside WARGASM, Resolve, Windwaker and Normandie have quickly established them as a genuinely impressive live band rather than just another internet-heavy project.
The material following last year’s ‘SICK TO DEATH OF EVERYTHING’ EP feels sharper, heavier and more immediate, leaning harder into contrast without losing the hooks underneath it all.
With appearances at Download Festival and a stage headline slot at 2000trees Festival this summer, Tropic Gold are starting to feel less like a promising new act and more like a band properly breaking through.
