Portland, Oregon's Bewitcher have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of black, thrash and speed metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Spell Shock" which will be released on September 27th by Century Media Records.
Dark soundscapes start off the album before going into a heavier speed metal direction while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic classic metal style and t he vocals are mostly first wave black metal screams.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the album also mixes in a lot of thrash metal elements. A lot of the music is very heavily rooted in the 80's era as will as being very modern at the same times along with the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the tracks also adding in a small amount of back up shouts and one of the songs also adds in a brief use of clean playing, synths can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism, Paganism and Hedonism themes
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Bewitcher and if you are a f an of blackened thrash and speed metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Starfire Maelstrom" "Out Against The Law" "We Die in Dust" and "Ride of The Iron Fox". 8 out of 10.
