WitcheR’s history started back in 2010. The band was formed by Gere Karola (synths, vocal) and Neubauer Roland (guitars, drums, vocal) in order to perform atmospheric black metal music based on classical music elements and strong synths harmonies. From the very beginning, catchy melodies and elevated mood took important parts in the music. The lyrics are mostly about witchcraft, Hungarian folklore, adherence to old values, and the maximum opposition to the modern world.
WitcheR once again conjures supernatural forces: the Hungarian atmospheric black metal duo has unveiled their second video from the upcoming fourth full-length album, "Öröklét"!
The track "Szélhozó" serves as a continuation of the previously released "Örökség", invoking the curse of the wind-bringers while blending the cold monumentality of black metal with hauntingly beautiful melodies in the footsteps of bands like Summoning and early Dimmu Borgir.
Music for upcoming album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Vrag at Forest Studio in 2023-2025. All music and lyrics written by WitcheR, expect Piano Trio No. 2 - Andante con moto (by Franz Schubert). Cover artwork was done by Grafit & Hamu Artworks.
The new song serves as a second prelude to the band’s upcoming album “Öröklét”, set for release on November 4, 2025. The record will be available on CD and cassette via Filosofem Records (pre-order) and on vinyl via Beveria Productions (pre-order).
"The second video is closely connected to the first in terms of storytelling: it continues the mystical world opened by 'Örökség,' expanding its narrative. The song evokes the legend of the wind-bringing witches, who commanded the elements as spiritual bearers of change and catharsis. As the story unfolds, the listener experiences not only the dark atmosphere and monumental power of black metal, but also the witches’ mystical journey, dancing on the edge of eternity and shaping the world around them." – WitcheR comments.
