Bewitcher - 'Speed 'Til You Bleed' (Midnight Hunters demo, 2015)

Apocalyptic be thy name
Surrounded by a world of flame
You can't wait for the night to fall
Answering the devil's call
Heavy Metal and sorcery
Doing 110 and living free
Possession reigns

Black leather, black magic,
White hot fucking steel
Sell your soul, in blood you sign the deal
Death is of no consequence
A thirst for trouble
That can't be quenched
Whiskey, women and sacrifice
The freedom of evil feels
Oh so nice, you shall not bow

Speed 'til you bleed
To the east as the sun sets behind you
Speed 'til you bleed
Hot burning steel
Death maniac at the wheel
Speed 'til you bleed

Speed 'til you bleed
To the east as the sun sets behind you
Speed 'til you bleed
Hot burning steel
Death maniac at the wheel
Speed 'til you bleed

Speed 'til you bleed
As the full moon rises high above you
Speed 'til you bleed
Hot burning steel
Death maniac at the wheel
Speed 'til you bleed

Οι Bewitcher μας έρχονται από το Πόρτλαντ. Heavy metal μπάντα με speed / black προεκτάσεις (στα φωνητικά κυρίως), η οποία δημιουργήθηκε προ δεκαετίας και μας παρουσιάζεται κάπως έτσι: «heavy metal at the speed of Satan» (και εναλλακτικά ως «rock n' roll on the wings of the devil»).

Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει τρεις "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους ("Bewitcher" 2016, "Under the Witching Cross" 2019, "Cursed Be Thy Kingdom" 2021), μία συλλογή, τρία demos και κάποια singles. Συλλογή είναι η μουσική τους πρόταση για το 2023. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Deep Cuts & Shallow Graves" και αφορά σε demo τραγούδια, σπάνιες ηχογραφήσεις της μπάντας και δύο νέο τραγούδια.

Δελτίο τύπου: «Since their formation in early 2013, Bewitcher has seen their signature “Black Magick Metal” sound go from humble beginnings to new heights of creativity and wild anthemic fervor. A small collection of long out-of-print demo tapes kicked off what has proven to be an enduring line of ripping studio albums, singles and EPs.

They have become notorious as one of the hardest working touring acts around, bringing their volcanic, high energy stage shows to every corner of North America and parts abroad. Now, as the band reaches another crucial milestone, they are taking a moment to look back on a decade of diabolic speed and sorcery.

Their latest offering, „Deep Cuts & Shallow Graves: Ten Years of Black Leather, Black Magic & White Hot Fucking Steel“ is a massive 17-track compulation of Bewitcher’s original demo recordings, rare and previously unreleased material, as well as two brand new studio tracks.

Released in all formats including a stacked double LP version, it is an homage and testament to the history of a new rising force in the heavy metal universe. Available as: Ltd. Gatefold white 2LP, CD Jewelcase and Digital album.»
