Portland’s Bewitcher have just delivered their latest offering in the single, “Dystopic Demonolatry.” It is taken from their upcoming full-length, Spell Shock, due out on September 27th, via Century Media Records. Watch the video for “Dystopic Demonolatry” in the article below and catch up on Bewitcher.

Bewitcher bassist A. Magus comments, “Any of you fuckers spent your Friday nights taping heavy metal videos to VHS off the ‘Ball or Loud?!’ Well, we sure as shit did! Join us as we dive into the late 80’s and early 90’s where metal music was relegated to late night cable TV. Like a lost cable-access performance, ‘Dystopic Demonolatry’ is raucous, raw, and ripping from beginning to end! We hope you dig it.”

Joining Von Bewitcher, bassist A. Magus, and drummer A. Hunter in the studio this time was none other longtime Bewitcher fan Lars Frederiksen. Most of the world knows Frederiksen as a force in his own right, playing in the likes of Bay Area punk heroes Rancid, as well as his own Old Firm Casuals. While to some, it may have been an unlikely pairing with Frederiksen taking the producer’s seat, for everyone in the studio the connection was immediate. As Frederiksen previously commented on ‘Spell Shock’: “It’s the best record I’ve ever produced for one of the best bands in the world.”

More from Bewitcher:
Since their formation in 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 earned a reputation as one of the hardest working touring acts around, bringing their volcanic, high energy live shows to every corner of North America and parts abroad.

From its eye-grabbing-and-gouging artwork by Italian horror maestro Solo Macello, to songs like the haunting “We Die in Dust,” to the epic closing track “Ride of the Iron Fox” (“That’s Bewitcher’s Dokken song!” laughs A. Hunter.) Spell Shock is Bewitcher at their most evolved and most devastatingly primal. “We wanted it to be an album experience,” says drummer A. Hunter. “Imagine King Diamond’s Abigail in terms of atmosphere merged with the energy of AC/DC’s High Voltage.“

Line-Up:
Mateo von Bewitcher – Vox + guitars
Hunter – Drums + percussion
Magus – Bass guitar + backing vox
