On July 22nd, Swedish Blackened Thrash Metallers WITCHERY, have released their new album “Nightside” through Century Media Records.To celebrate the release, the band dropped a lyric video for “Storm Of The Unborn”, created by Cloud Music Typography.
WITCHERY mastermind and guitarist, Jensen, states: “The day of the Nightside album release is upon us, and along with it we have a lyrical video chosen to show the diversity of the album. ‘Storm Of The Unborn’ is a slower, more atmospheric track compared to the two previously released videos from the album. It also comes with more atmosphere-setting sound fx, something I grew to love from listening to other great concept albums (perhaps best exemplified by Queensryche’s Operation: Mindcrime). So, get a glass of your favorite beverage, find some shade from the current sun-on-steroids (at least here in northern Europe at the moment!) and enjoy this our first endeavor of creating a concept album of our own.”
Following 2017’s much acclaimed “I Am Legion” album, “Nightside” was recorded with the WITCHERY lineup consisting of Jensen (guitar, THE HAUNTED / ex-SEANCE), Rickard Rimfält (guitar, SEANCE), Angus Norder (vocals, NEKROKRAFT), Victor Brandt (bass, DIMMU BORGIR / ex-ENTOMBED A.D.) – who now officially replaces longtime bassist Sharlee D’Angelo – and Chris Barkensjö (drums, LIK / ex-KAAMOS).
“Nightside” features brief guest appearances on vocals by Jeff Walker (CARCASS, on “A Forest of Burning Coffins”, as well as guest guitar leads by Hank Shermann (MERCYFUL FATE, on “Left Hand March”), Simon Johansson (WOLF, on “Crucifix and Candle”) and Maciek Ofstad (KVELERTAK, on “Don’t Burn the Witch”).
The album was once again mixed and produced by Daniel Bergstrand (BEHEMOTH, IN FLAMES, etc.) and includes artwork by Andreas “Diaz” Pettersson.
