Wood Butcher is an indie rock band from Portland, Oregon. They released their first EP “Dirt Gravel and Stone” in 2020 (recorded at Shady Pines Studio) and just released an EP, "Evil", in February 2025 (recorded with Stephen Fisk). They will be slow releasing the rest of the album through out 2025.
Wood Butcher’s style leans towards rocky-folk/psych-rock with earthy lyrics that transport you to a deep forest campfire dancing with the creatures of the night. Influenced by bands like All Them Witches, Shakey Graves, and the Decemberists with a story telling, dark-folk, witchy vibe that inspires everyone to move.
Primary band members include Michael DeMello on lead vocals and electric mandola/guitar, Jaime May on lead guitar and back up vocals, James Seminara on bass and Lucus Goughnour on drums.
