Lancaster, Lancashire, England-based hard rock band Wytch Hazel have filmed a music video for the track \u2018Strong Heart\u2019, which can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Wytch Hazel issue fourth full-length studio album IV: Sacrament<\/em> on June 2nd, 2023 through Bad Omen Records.<\/p>\n

IV: Sacrament<\/em> was recorded with longtime producer Ed Turner and tracked in a converted Baptist chapel in rural Wales.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve blown my own mind a bit, and even after all this painstaking work, I still feel like I\u2019ve only scratched the surface of what Wytch Hazel could be doing musically,\u201d said frontman Colin Hendra. \u201cI wish I could have a month to work on one song, and go on a tangent a bit. I will in the future, it\u2019s going in the right direction. It\u2019s some of the most honest songwriting I\u2019ve ever done, and the lyrics come from a darker place, I think. I\u2019m getting older, that comes through in some lyrics: \u2018see my body breaking\u2019, \u2018I\u2019m digging deeper\u2019, \u2018time\u2019s running out\u2026\u2019 – I struggle to see the positive a lot of the time, so the songs end up being negative, the subject matter coming from constant striving.\u201d<\/p>\n

The track listing is as follows:<\/p>\n
