“Spell Shock”, the speed demons’ latest album, raises BEWITCHER’s horns and pushes their extremes straight into the fiery red. Not only are the gates to pre-order “Spell Shock” open, but the band has delivered a brand-new single and video, “Out Against The Law”!

Joining the trio in the studio was none other than longtime BEWITCHER fan, Lars Frederiksen. Most of the world knows Frederiksen as a force in his own right, playing in the likes of Bay Area punk heroes Rancid, The Old Firm Casuals and his own Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards. While to some, it may have been an unlikely pairing with Frederiksen taking the producer’s seat, for everyone in the studio the connection was immediate. Says Frederiksen on “Spell Shock”: “The best record I’ve ever produced.”

“Spell Shock” is a blazing return for Portland Satanic Speed Metal invocators and provocateurs, BEWITCHER. In a decade of manifesting musical darkness and riding roughshod over the groundwork laid by Motörhead and Venom, BEWITCHER has proven itself one of the underground’s most buzzed-about propositions, churning up the pavement with the likes of Cavalera, Municipal Waste and Creeping Death (to name a few). “Spell Shock” is where the threesome not only go back to throttle-down basics on tracks like the bombastic opener, “Starfire Maelstrom” but also revel in the rock with “Out Against the Law” or wax liturgical on the elegiac “We Die In Dust”. This time, BEWITCHER enlisted none other than legendary guitarist, songwriter and metal-punk fanatic Lars Frederiksen (Rancid, Old Firm Casuals) to help conjure their hell-and-back chaos and the results are nothing short of furiously irrelevant and utterly unholy. Hellfire rarely sounds this good.

“Spell Shock” is available as: Standard CD Jewel case, Gatefold black 180g LP, Digital Album.
