Burning Witches – The Dark Tower

Vinyl 12"

Swiss heavy metal powerhouse Burning Witches return with The Dark Tower, their fifth studio album and debut release for Napalm Records. Inspired by the glory days of 1980s heavy metal, the band delivers a relentless assault of soaring guitar solos, thunderous rhythms, powerful riffs and Laura Guldemond's commanding vocals, capturing the spirit of the genre while forging a sound that is unmistakably their own.

Building on the success of previous albums, including The Witch of the North, which reached No. 16 in the German charts, The Dark Tower sees Burning Witches at the height of their powers. The title track combines intricate twin-guitar harmonies with an epic, atmospheric arrangement, while Unleash the Beast opens the album with blistering energy, razor-sharp riffs and infectious hooks. World on Fire continues the onslaught with its driving rhythms and anthemic chorus, showcasing the band's unmistakable blend of melody and aggression.

Following major festival appearances at Wacken Open Air and Summer Breeze, along with tours supporting The Iron Maidens and Grave Digger, Burning Witches have firmly established themselves as one of modern heavy metal's leading acts. The Dark Tower is a thrilling celebration of classic metal, packed with memorable songs, exceptional musicianship and enough firepower to satisfy both longtime fans and a new generation of headbangers.
