The cauldron is bubbling, the riffs are razor-sharp, and the leather is laced — Burning Witches are about to scorch Australian soil for the first time ever. Kicking off on 22 May, the Swiss heavy metal coven are bringing their spellbinding brew of ‘80s-inspired shred and power metal fury to stages across the country. Formed in 2015 by axe-wielding mastermind Romana Kalkuhl, the band — now a powerhouse five-piece featuring vocalist Laura Guldemond, bassist Jeanine Grob, drummer Lala Frischknecht and ex-Iron Maidens shredder Courtney Cox — are on a mission to ignite a new wave of metal madness.
Known for channelling the theatrical energy of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden with a touch of hellfire, Burning Witches don’t just honour metal’s past — they set it ablaze with sky-splitting solos and banshee vocals that could summon the dead. Their debut Australian run promises molten riffs, denim, spikes, and a whole lot of headbanging.
