Swedish blackened thrash metal Witchery unveil new single "Witching Hour"
Swedish blackened thrash metal Witchery unveiled the title track to their forthcoming album Witching Hour today.
The song arrives with a music video directed by Martin Hultgren of Gryt Film AB with post-production duties by Eduardo Hidalgo of E2h Design Studio and Maciej Pieloch, which can be seen below. Guitarist Jensen said this about the new song:
“And so, the ‘Witching Hour’ has finally arrived…This, the opening track of the new concept album "Nightside", kicks off a story of unreal nightmares, demonic possession, inquisitional witches' trials and then dives into the really dark stuff, haha. First try for us to create a concept album and we are very happy with how it turned out. We worked hard at creating songs that followed the dramaturgy of the story (which was more work than we ever realized, but a challenged we accepted and overcame!). We're pretty sure that ‘Popecrusher’, and now ‘Witching Hour’, will pique your interest in hearing the full story of "Nightside"!”
Pre-orders for Witching Hour, which will arrive on July 22 via Century Media Records, can be made here. This follows their 2017 studio album I Am Legion.
