Burning Witches

About

Burning Witches aren't just another revival act; they’re a molten metal force forging their own legend in the 21st century. Hailing from Switzerland, this all-female quintet ignites stages with a potent brew of classic heavy metal infused with NWOBHM ferocity. Their sound, characterized by blistering guitar riffs, thunderous rhythms, and soaring vocals, draws clear inspiration from icons like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Warlock, but with a distinctly modern, aggressive edge. Formed in 2015, Burning Witches quickly gained traction, releasing their self-titled debut in 2017 and subsequently signing with Nuclear Blast Records. Their relentless touring schedule and subsequent albums, including "Hexenhammer," "Dance with the Devil," and "The Witch of Kings Cross," cemented their status as a rising force. Their lineup, though evolving, consistently delivers a high-octane performance, proving their dedication to the genre's legacy. Beyond the theatrics and stage presence, Burning Witches represent a potent symbol of female empowerment within the historically male-dominated metal scene. They challenge conventions and inspire a new generation of metalheads. With a rapidly growing fanbase and recent releases showcasing even greater musical maturity and songwriting prowess, Burning Witches are poised to reign supreme in the contemporary metal landscape.
