All the best tunes belong to the Devil, and Portland’s bastard sons BEWITCHER have returned to take back rock n’ roll in Baphomet’s name. The speed demons’ latest offering from their upcoming full-length, 'Spell Shock,' raises BEWITCHER’s horns and pushes their extremes straight into the fiery red. Today the code is magenta when BEWITCHER invite you to join their unholy circle for "Dystopic Demonolatry." Watch the video, which conjures up old-school metal nostalgia, at THIS LOCATION.
Bewitcher bassist A. Magus comments, "Any of you fuckers spent your Friday nights taping heavy metal videos to VHS off the 'Ball or Loud?!' Well, we sure as shit did! Join us as we dive into the late 80's and early 90's where metal music was relegated to late night cable TV. Like a lost cable-access performance, ‘Dystopic Demonolatry’ is raucous, raw, and ripping from beginning to end! We hope you dig it."
'Spell Shock' is due on September 27 via Century Media Records and pre-orders can be found HERE.
Joining Von Bewitcher, bassist A. Magus, and drummer A. Hunter in the studio this time was none other longtime BEWITCHER fan Lars Frederiksen. Most of the world knows Frederiksen as a force in his own right, playing in the likes of Bay Area punk heroes Rancid, as well as his own Old Firm Casuals. While to some, it may have been an unlikely pairing with Frederiksen taking the producer’s seat, for everyone in the studio the connection was immediate.
As Frederiksen previously commented on 'Spell Shock': "It’s the best record I’ve ever produced for one of the best bands in the world."
In addition, BEWITCHER recently announced an extensive North American tour, in which they will be co-headlining with label-mates SKELETAL REMAINS. The full itinerary can be found below while tickets can be found HERE.
