Bewitcher - "Valley Of The Ravens" (video)

Mistress of incantations!
Your life has been weighed,
Oh bearer of the mark
Guilty before the laws of God
Harlot queen of the profane
Child of the void, begin your march
On the path to the dead lands
Spat upon under the whip
And broken by stone
The fog gives way to reveal a place
Of charred flesh and bones

Carrion birds devour the sun
A lovely day for an execution

Light the pyre, start the fire
For the witch must burn!
The demons dance in her obsidian eyes
Creation of Satan, banished to ash
In the valley where the heretic dies

Silent she stands without emotion
Wounds still fresh from the lash
Utter now your final words
Before you breathe your last
With a banshee howl, her voice resounds:

“No number of years will ever wash
Your wretched hands of my blood!
My vengeance will be felt forever,
As the ancestral hauntress...
Harrower of the unborn ones”

Carrion birds devour the sun
Such a beautiful day for an execution...

In the valley of the ravens

Where the witch was sent to die
She’ll be reborn into
The darkness this night
In the valley of the ravens

Οι Bewitcher μας έρχονται από το Πόρτλαντ. Heavy metal μπάντα με speed / black προεκτάσεις (στα φωνητικά κυρίως), η οποία δημιουργήθηκε προ οκταετίας και μας παρουσιάζεται κάπως έτσι: «heavy metal at the speed of Satan».

Οι Bewitcher έχουν κυκλοφορήσει δύο "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους ("Bewitcher" 2016, "Under the Witching Cross" 2019) με τον τρίτο να είναι προ των πυλών. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Cursed Be Thy Kingdom" κι αναμένεται στα μέσα του επόμενου μήνα...

Bewitcher: «A little story about the music video... with just under 4 weeks until the deadline to turn it in, it came to our attention that another, very prominent band had dropped a music video that almost completely mirrored our original concept and treatment.

Needless to say we were a bit concerned. With the help of our production team a new music video concept was created. Less than 2 weeks later we found ourselves on the muddy banks of the Willamette river in the freezing rain, shooting for a combined 20 hours over to 2 days.

What you see in the final video is the combined efforts of some incredibly creative and dedicated individuals. A lot of pain and agony went into this one, but we couldn’t be more pleased with the end result. To that end, play this one loud!»
