Unmountable Stairs is the debut album by Austrian-based stone rock outfit Witchrider. They were formed in Graz/AUT in 2012 by Michael Hirschmugl, H.P. Leitner and Daniel Dorninger. Before finally settling with the name "Witchrider" they called themselves "Desert Mountain" (after "Desert Sessions" in California). However, they decided that "Witchrider" was a better fit to their musical style. The idea for the bandname was taken from sleep paralysis, which is also known as "riding the witch".
They released their first EP Witchrider in 2013 which featured their first recording "Black". The band draws similarities to other stoner rock acts such as Queens of the Stone Age and the Josh Homme-lead Desert Sessions.
They will release their debut LP Unmountable Stairs in mid November via Fuzzorama Records.
