BURNING WITCHES set the world ablaze, ushering in a new wave of heavy metal!
When BURNING WITCHES join forces, the world ignites in flames! A mere sip of their enchanting concoction of heavy metal transports the listener back to the golden age of the most electrifying and intense era in rock history. Drawing inspiration from the quintessential trademarks of classic 80s heavy metal – think towering guitar solos, raucous and gritty vocals, high-pitched screams, and rapid-fire drumming – BURNING WITCHES unleash an incendiary assault once again through their fifth studio album and inaugural offering with Napalm Records, titled "The Dark Tower," set for release on May 5, 2023. Buckle up your broomsticks for this exhilarating and blazing journey!
Across fifteen high-octane tracks, BURNING WITCHES summon the atmosphere of a midnight congregation within smoky, warm bars. The album kicks off with "Unleash The Beast," where duelling guitars engage in a fierce battle of top-tier, rapid-fire performances. The song's energy crescendos as singer Laura Guldemond's powerful and piercing voice combines with resonant harmonies, creating an electrifying synergy. "World On Fire" propels the listener's heartbeat with escalating tension driven by flashy guitar work, paving the way for melodic six-string solos that fuse with relentless guitar onslaughts and intricate drum patterns, all harmonizing with captivating vocal lines that beckon a dance with the undead! Embracing a restless and fervent spirit, the formidable women of BURNING WITCHES unleash a torrential display of instrument mastery on "The Dark Tower." Yet, amidst the fervor, they momentarily find solace in the gentle mid-tempo track "Tomorrow." Here, bittersweet melodies ascend like weightless feathers, delivering a message of empowerment from these five confident women.
With a gradual tempo escalation, "Heart Of Ice" and "Arrow Of Time" ensnare the senses through extravagant guitar tapping and Laura's heroic vocals. Meanwhile, "The Lost Souls" blends devilish staccato and legato riffs, crafting an ominous ambiance that intertwines with the enchanting screams of these five Swiss sorceresses. Through their latest studio endeavor, BURNING WITCHES not only resurrect the illustrious era of heavy metal's glory days but elevate it to new heights. They captivate each listener's soul with energetic performances encapsulated within "The Dark Tower."
