Bewitcher - S/T (LP)
Bewitcher is a Satanic speed metal band from Portland, Oregon. Here
is their manifesto: “Rock ’n’ roll is the devil’s music, and heavy metal is it’s bastard
child. In the 1980s, the radical fundamentalist Christian right-wing in America waged a war against this music, bringing it’s practitioners and it’s unholy muse to the forefront of the public consciousness. Over a quarter-century later, the devil’s rock ’n’ roll is still alive and well, but the war is far from over. And so it came to pass... “In the year of Thirteen of Satan’s third millennium, a new force rises to defend the ways of old. Bewitcher is the ancient black flame of magic, mayhem, freedom and liberation, burning in blatant opposition to the laughable norms of this modern age . Instead they look to that bygone era, before it’s pollution by imitators of a lesser intention, when heavy metal in all it’s glory truly represented the
tenets it was founded upon
.
“May your children be corrupted, may your foundations be shaken,
may your mundane existences be forever altered, for this spell cannot
be broken. Fall and obey! And beware the curse of the Bewitcher!”
“Throw a dart at the track list and come up with a winner no matter
where the needle lands. As perfect a summoning of hellish rock ’n’ roll
traditions as you’re likely to come across in 2016.”
