Burning Witches - 'Unleash The Beast' (live video)

Working from nine to five, a counted upon life
Fully stuck in the grind with no chance to unwind
Stuck on a ball and chain, your freedom down the drain
Only rose colored pictures shown down memory lane

Bloodlust, builds up
And from the darkness comes a beast unleashed

Animals in a cage
Unleash the beast building up rage
Animals in a cage
Anger on a higher stage Animals in a cage
Unleash the beast building up rage
Animals in a cage
Humanity fully deranged

Where are the times of wanting what you're gonna do
Infuriating must do's, you can only loose
Wouldn't it sometimes be great to go far back in time
When what you would get mad at, you could actually kill

Bloodlust, builds up
And from the darkness comes a beast unleashed

Animals in a cage
Unleash the beast building up rage
Animals in a cage
Anger on a higher stage
Animals in a cage
Unleash the beast building up rage
Animals in a cage
Humanity fully deranged

Unleash the beast
Unleash the beast
Unleash the beast
Unleash the beast

Bloodlust, builds up
And from the darkness comes a beast unleashed

Animals in a cage
Unleash the beast building up rage
Animals in a cage
Anger on a higher stage
Animals in a cage
Unleash the beast building up rage
Animals in a cage
Humanity fully deranged

Ο πέμπτος "ολοκληρωμένος" δίσκος των Burning Witches βρλισκεται ήδη εκεί έξω. Φέρει τον τίτλο "The Dark Tower" και κυκλοφόρησε προ τριμήνου. Στην παρούσα ανάρτηση θα παρακολουθήσουμε το μουσικό βίντεο με την "ζωντανή" απόδοση του τραγουδιού "Unleash The Beast".

Οι Burning Witches είναι μία "all woman Swiss Heavy Metal band" (κατά πως "υπογράφουν"). Δημιουργήθηκαν προ οκταετίας και έχουν κυκλοφορήσει τρία singles, πέντε full length albums, έναν live δίσκο και δύο EPs...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Burning Witches set the world ablaze, ushering in a new wave of heavy metal! When Burning Witches come together, the world is ablaze! With just a sip of their bewitched brew of heavy metal, the quintet whisks the listener back to the heyday of the hottest and cruelest era in rock history.

Inspired by the trademarks of classic 80s heavy metal - like skyscraper guitar solos, bludgeoning, raspy vocals and screams, and fast paced drums - Burning Witches unleash a searing attack once more with their fifth studio album and Napalm Records debut, The Dark Tower, out May 5, 2023.

Fasten your broom’s seat belt for this wild and fiery ride! On fifteen energetic tracks, Burning Witches ring the bells for a midnight mass in smoky-warm bars. Opening with “Unleash The Beast”, roaring, dueling guitars battle each other with top-notch, fast-paced performances while the energy of the song rises to its climax when the sharp voice of singer Laura Guldemond combines with powerful harmonies.

“World On Fire” first gets the listener’s pulse pumping due to the rising tension of flashy guitar work, before melodic six-string solos unite with unbeatable guitar onslaughts and sophisticated drum attacks - underlining conjuring vocal lines that call out for an evening zombie dance!

Restless and intense, the fierce women of Burning Witches shred their instruments on The Dark Tower like no other, but with the soft mid-tempo track “Tomorrow”, the witches settle down to gather their strength for just a moment. Bittersweet melodies float up to the sky like weightless feathers, carrying a message of five confident women.

Ready again to gradually increase the tempo, “Heart Of Ice” and “Arrow Of Time” ensnare with extravagant guitar tapping and heroic vocals by Laura, while “The Lost Souls” merges devilish staccato and legato riffs, creating an ominous atmosphere amid the bewitching screams of the five Swiss enchantresses.

With their new studio album, Burning Witches not only bring back the glory days of heavy metal, but push it beyond - trapping the soul of each listener with energetic performances on The Dark Tower.»
