Band Of The Week

 
Burning Witches, founded in 2015, are not just one of the hottest exports from Switzerland. Well no, the Swiss girls are one of the most interesting newcomers in Old School Heavy Metal in the past years… worldwide! The band already bewitched the scene press with their first single ‘Burning Witches’ (2016) and achieved the title „Demo of the month“ in German Metal Hammer and Rock Hard. For sure, the powerful Heavy Metal, which also includes influences from Power and Speed as well as traditional Metal.

It's not surprising that so much talent led to a spectacular self-titled debut album that was released in 2017, and the Swiss band didn't only receive the attention of the traditional Heavy Metal audience but also from one of the scene heavy weights, Nuclear Blast Records, who quickly signed the band.
 
In 2018 the band released their second album "Hexenhammer" on Nuclear Blast. 
 
After two records the old singer left the band because of personal reasons and in summer 2019 the girls welcomed Laura Guldemond into their coven as a new Witch on the microphone.
 
In 2020 and 2021 the band released their third and fourth album "Dance With The Devil" and "The Witch Of The North". Both albums was released on Nuclear Blast. And in 2023 the band releadsed their fifth album "The Dark Tower" this time on Napalm Records. 
 
The band will releae their sixth album "Inquisition" on August 22nd and so far their has been a few singles released from the upcoming album, the latest being "High Priestess Of The Night".
