Swedish thrash metal band Witchery have released an official lyric video for the track \u2018Storm Of The Unborn\u2019. Created by Cloud Music Typography, the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Witchery issued eighth full-length studio album Nightside<\/em> on July 22nd, 2022 through Century Media Records.<\/p>\n

Guitarist Patrik Jensen commented: \u201cI started to write this album without any general direction of idea in mind, but somewhere in the middle of the writing process I remembered that I\u2019ve always wanted to do a concept album, so I decided to give it a shot. Little did I know that writing a concept album puts a lot more pressure on each and every song turning out great. This might seem a norm (and I guess it is in some way) but usually you write 12-14 songs and choose the songs that turned out the best after they\u2019ve been mixed and mastered. Sometimes even what you thought was going to be the first song on the album gets pushed to somewhere else because another track turned out sounding more like an opening track. Also, out of those 12-14 songs you can choose to keep a few a bonus tracks. With a theme album, songs can\u2019t swap places. The story needs to work (no one wants to do a new The Elder<\/em>!), so the opening track really needs to hold up as an opening track etc., thus the extra pressure of \u2018no surprises\u2019 after it\u2019s all recorded.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe album tells a story of demonic nightmares, unexplainable pregnancy, witch trails and an escape from the Old Country to the colonies in the west and what happens once the child is born. Guests on this album is, for starters, our permanent guest of honour Hank Shermann, but also guest solos by Maciek Ofstad of Kvelertak and Simon Johansson of Wolf (also the studio owner of Solna Studio where we recorded the album. We also had the honour of having Jeff Walker of Carcass do guest vocals on the song \u2018A Forest Of Burning Coffins\u2019. All in all, we are very happy with how the album turned out and with again thrilled over Daniel Bergstrand\u2019s killer production\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

As referenced, Nightside<\/em> was once again mixed and produced by Daniel Bergstrand. As well as a guest vocal appearance by Jeff Walker of Carcass on the track \u2018A Forest Of Burning Coffins\u2019, the album includes guest guitar leads from Mercyful Fate\u2019s Hank Shermann on \u2018Left Hand March\u2019, Wolf\u2019s Simon Johansson on \u2018Crucifix And Candle\u2019, and Kvelertak\u2019s Maciek Ofstad on \u2018Don\u2019t Burn The Witch\u2019.<\/p>\n
