Bewitcher's diabolical tale begins in 2013 when longtime friends and collaborators, Von Bewitcher and Magus gathered elements and inspirations from the likes of Motorhead and Bathory to concoct the Satanic Panic and Wild Blasphemy demos (collected for 2023’s Deep Cuts & Shallow Graves compilation of demos and unreleased tracks). With early anthems like “Speed til You Bleed” or “Too Fast for the Flames”, Bewitcher snared a rabid cult with their assault of insanely catchy riffmongery and grimly fiendish wordplay. By 2015, they had a leather jacket and dark sunglass-clad touring lineup ready and hit the road, to never look back. Touring became non-stop, the three-piece becoming a seasoned live band owning stages across North America and Europe as they spread the gospel of their self-dubbed “Black Magick Metal”.
From Hell to eternity, Bewitcher's blasphemous mission remains unfailingly the same - playing razor sharp, unforgettable heavy metal from festival stages to the darkest recesses of small clubs across the world. “We still have to earn it every night,” says Magus. “We’re going to go grind it as hard as we can and win over as many people as we can. That’s Bewitcher and that’s the essence of heavy metal itself.”
