Background information über 'Inquisition'

When Burning Witches take the stage, the world trembles beneath their firestorm of heavy metal might. On their sixth studio album, "Inquisition", the Swiss powerhouse returns with a darker, more thunderous brew — diving headfirst into the themes of medieval persecution, religious oppression, and the unbreakable spirit of resistance. Featuring 12 brand-new tracks, the album marks a bold new era: forged in the flames of power/heavy metal, sharpened by anthemic songwriting and epic instrumentation.

Following the classic heavy metal tones of their previous record, "The Dark Tower" (2023), "Inquisition" delivers tight production and an unrelenting onslaught of burning riffs, crushing drums, and vocal sorcery. With booming drums, Latin chants and eerie guitar melodies, opener "Sanguini Hominum" sets a harrowing mood for the medieval power/heavy metal madness! The title track "Inquisition" opens the gates with a tempest of high-energy power metal, as thunderous basslines, pounding drums and twin guitars dripping in witchery support Laura Guldemond's hair-raising vocals. The rousing single "High Priestess Of The Night" pulses with heavy rock swagger and a melodic 80s-style guitar solo, while "Release Me" shows the band's versatility as a melodic ballad that blends rich atmospheric soundscapes with chill-inducing vocals.

For fans of:
Arch Enemy, Doro, Amaranthe, and Beast in Black
