Witchery - Dont Fear The Reaper (Promo 2006) - Metal

Witchery - Dont fear the Reaper -------------------------------------------------------------------- Label: Century Media Grabber: EAC Style: Metal Encoder: LAME Rdate: 01-05-2006 Quality: VBRkbps/44,1kHz Street: 02-27-2006 Songs: 13 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Release Notes: WITCHERY?s spell was cast upon our earthly existence when four members splintered off Satanic Slaughter in 1997: Jensen (later with The Haunted), Richard Corpse, Toxine and Mique. ?We had such a great time together that we decided to continue under another name?, recalls Jensen (guitars). Before recording their debut-album ?Restless And Dead?, Jensen met Sharlee D'Angelo (also of Arch Enemy and Mercyful Fate fame, among others) and got him on board for the unholy alliance. The album was released by Necropolis Records in 1998 and was very well received, so WITCHERY recorded the "Witchburner" mini-album later during the same year. Apart from two originals, the EP featured four cover songs by Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, WASP and Accept that bore witness to where the individual musicians drew their influences from. Not too long after its release, WITCHERY did their first US tour together with Borknagar and Emperor in July of 1999 and didn?t take much time to rest. Their second full-length album ?Dead, Hot And Ready? was unleashed soon thereafter and was followed by a six week European tour with Moonspell and Kreator in January and February 2000. After concentrating on duties with their other bands, WITCHERY got back together to record "Symphony For The Devil? at Berno Studio, Malmö, Sweden in 2001, with the album being released in Europe by Music For Nations and in the US by Necropolis. It was the first recording with their current drummer Martin Axenrot (also in Bloodbath, and on tour with Opeth) who joined the circle of black magic after Mique had left the band. Later during the same year WITCHERY did a US tour along with The Haunted before falling into hibernation for some time. Their new album and debut on Century Media Records, ?Don?t Fear The Reaper?, was again recorded at Berno Studios, but mixed by Tue Madsen at his Antfarm Studios (The Haunted, Heaven Shall Burn, Mnemic...). It showcases not only a cover-version of the Satanic Slaughter classic ?Immortal Death?, but also WITCHERY?s feel for catchy and precise metal tunes. Something has come back from the dead... --------------------------------------------------------------------

This album is a masterpiece and well worth the wait! Witchery have lost none of their unique sound yet have come up with an awesome barrage of original material, perfectly mixed and mastered. I just ordered it online and I would ask other American fans to do the same so we can get these fuckers over here on a kick-ass tour this summer!
