Witch Blade - 'Vittrorna Kommer' (Månsken 2022)
Det kommer en tid då mörkret kryper sig på
Kungens dagar är räknade
Han rustar sin arme
Gör sig redo för strid
Han fruktar mörkrets hämnd och sin död
Med svärd, yxor och sköldar
I sina händer
Är det dags att slå tillbaka
Deras skräck har tynat bort
Nu är tiden inne
För häxornas revolution
Vittrorna kommer
Nu flyr soldaterna
Kungen ska dräpas
Vittrorna kommer
Slaget är nästan vunnet
Murarna har fallit
Den inre borgen står i ruiner
Nu står herren med snaran
Runt sin hals
Häxorna har nu fått sin hämnd
Det nalkas hämnd
Blodet kommer att rinna
Vittrorna kommer
Nu flyr soldaterna
Kungen ska dräpas
Vittrorna kommer
Räds ej min son
Mästaren hör din bön
Kättarna kommer möta ondskans odjur
Bestar av blod och illvilja
De som tagit olovlig makt,
Ska för evigt känna plågan
Vittrorna kommer
Nu flyr soldaterna
Kungen ska dräpas
Vittrorna kommer

Με τους Witch Blade έχουμε να ασχοληθούμε (περισσότερο από) έξι χρόνια! Κάτι απόλυτα λογικά καθώς ο μοναδικός τους δίσκος ("Oskuldernas eld") κυκλοφόρησε το 2015. Οι Witch Blade μας έρχονται από την Σουηδία.
Τριμελές heavy metal σχήμα, το οποίο τραγουδά στην μητρική του γλώσσα, δημιουργήθηκε πριν από μία δεκαετία και αποτελείται από τρεις... μάγους! Τον Witchhunter (Joacim Lindblom), τον Witchlover (Erik Kristhammar) και τον Witchdoctor!
Οι δύο μάλιστα από τους τρεις σχετίζονται (και) με τους Insane. Ο Joacimήταν μέλος τους από το 2009 έως το 2012, ενώ ο Erik συνεχίζει μέχρι και τις ημέρες μας. Οι Witch Blade έχουν κυκλοφορήσει ένα demo, ένα single κι ένα full length album, με το δεύτερο να βρίσκεται προ των πυλών. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Månsken" και αναμένεται στην "καρδιά" του φθινοπώρου...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Dying Victims Productions is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Sweden’s Witch Blade, Månsken, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Kristinehamn, Sweden’s Witch Blade were formed back in 2012 by Witchlover and Witchhunter. The two childhood friends had been playing together in other projects but wanted to form a band that honored their heavy metal heroes: namely Angel Witch, Tokyo Blade, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden.
After writing a couple of songs, the band became a three-piece when drummer Witchburner joined in early 2013. The same year, the band recorded their self-titled debut demo, which sold out quickly and was later re-released by Levitate Records, followed by a 7” single titled Fjärrans Krig in 2014.
After working as a sound engineer on the single recording, Witchdoctor joined on second guitar just in time for the band’s debut album, Oskuldernas Eld, released in 2015 by Dying Victims. Witch Blade made their live debut in 2015 as a supporting act for Black Trip.
Since then, the band have made several live appearances around Sweden. Thereafter, a period of hibernation followed until 2021, when the band decided to continue again as a trio. The result is something of a rebirth: Månsken, Witch Blade’s second album.
While the cover to Oskuldernas Eld certainly clued listeners in to its contents, the one for Månsken compellingly complements the album’s contents in a most tasteful fashion. There’s undoubtedly an olde-worlde, magickally musty flair to Witch Blade here - also keenly note the band’s change in logos – their traditional heavy metal going back even further in time to the proto-metal era.
Nothing overdriven, nothing too over-the-top, just hard rocking and hot rockin’ and an almost narrative moodiness to the songwriting whilst staying locked into classic verse/chorus/break structures, Witch Blade once again locate that wonderful (and elusive) balance between garage-born emotion and swords & sorcery stateliness.
To a man, the riffs and leads of guitarists Witchlover and Witchdoctor (who also drums here) often impart a melancholy on par with Wishbone Ash’s Argus or Thin Lizzy’s Black Rose, while frontman / bassist Witchhunter sings his heart out in his native tongue, which only heightens the heart-on-sleeve pathos across Månsken.
And just like its full-length predecessor, the eight-song Månsken is an extremely swift and satisfying spin at 33 minutes. All those denim-clad diehards and cloak-wrapped warlocks into early (and moody) hard rock and cult NWOBHM, you are hereby commanded to witness the rebirth of Witch Blade with Månsken!»
