BEWITCHER // SUPPORT: BATTLESWORD

In the organizer's words:

Since their formation in early 2013, BEWITCHER has seen their signature "Black Magick Metal" sound go from humble beginnings to new heights of creativity and wild anthemic fervor. A small collection of long out-of-print demo tapes kicked off what has proven to be an enduring line of ripping studio albums, singles and EPs.
They have become notorious as one of the hardest working touring acts around, bringing their volcanic, high energy stage shows to every corner of North America and parts abroad.
Now, as the band reaches another crucial milestone, they are taking a moment to look back on a decade of diabolic speed and sorcery. Their latest offering, "Deep Cuts & Shallow Graves: Ten Years of Black Leather, Black Magic & White Hot Fucking Steel" is a massive 17-track compilation of BEWITCHER's original demo recordings, rare and previously unreleased material, as well as two brand new studio tracks. Released in all formats including a stacked double LP version, it is a homage and testament to the history of a new rising force in the heavy metal universe.

Line-Up:
M. von Bewitcher - vox & guitars
A. Hunter - drums & percussion
A. Magus - bass guitar & backing vox

Battlesword - Melodic Death Metal from the Lower Rhine, convincing since 1999.
Since their formation in 1999, Battlesword have held up the banner of melodic death metal. With a mixture of powerful melodies and aggressive riffs, the band has earned itself a solid place in the scene. Battlesword have performed live both nationally and internationally, for example at the Tolminator Festival in Slovenia and the Aaargh Festival in Baden-Württemberg.
In 2019, Battlesword celebrated their 20th anniversary as a band and honored this with their third album "...And Death Cometh Upon Us". This was followed two years later by the album "Towards The Unknown" on MDD Records, which once again gained international recognition with its catchy melodies and distinctive rhythms.
In 2024, Battlesword can now look back on 25 years of band history and also have a new album to mark this anniversary. And with the tilel "(XX)V - Of Tales And Tragedies", the band indicates exactly that - 25 years of band existence and the release of the fifth studio album, which was released again in September 2024 via MDD Records.
Battlesword thus remain an integral part of the melodic death metal scene - with new songs that are sure to provide plenty of movement and neck pain at the upcoming shows.
