Burning Witches announce new album ‘The Witch Of The North’

BURNING WITCHES have announced a new album!

Titled The Witch Of The North, the upcoming album from the Swiss heavy metal coven is the band’s fourth full-length effort, and is scheduled for release in May this year via Nuclear Blast Records. The upcoming album is the follow-up to 2020’s Dance With The Devil.

The cover artwork was created by Chilean artist Claudio Bergamín (JUDAS PRIEST‘s Firepower) and it sets the mood for the enthralling journey through enchanted forests and across snow-capped mountain tops that is: The Witch Of The North.

We have grown together as a team and have evolved our sound to the next level, the WITCHES 2021 are heavier and more epic than ever!
