Sanford, FL, USA - Exciting news for metal fans! The Swiss heavy metal powerhouse Burning Witches is gearing up for the release of their highly anticipated album, „Inquisition,“ set to hit the shelves on August 22, 2025. According to Chaoszine, the title track has already dropped as a single, giving fans a taste of what’s to come. With vibrant artwork painted by Gyula Havancsák and a compelling music video recorded by Dream Film Factory, it seems the band is doing all they can to make this launch memorable.

This sixth studio album captures the essence of Burning Witches and expands upon their signature sound while exploring themes of medieval persecution and religious oppression. As the band noted, “Inquisition” balances classic heavy metal tones with fierce lyrical content, making it a worthy follow-up to their previous album, „The Dark Tower“ (2023). Fans can look forward to 12 new tracks, including „Sanguini Hominum,“ „Soul Eater,“ and „High Priestess Of The Night,“ which showcase both their musical prowess and thematic depth.

A Collector’s Delight

Burning Witches also aims to please collectors with a Limited Die Hard Edition of „Inquisition,“ set to be released by Napalm Records. This exclusive edition is limited to just 300 copies and features a stunning „gold, black“ marbled LP along with a bonus live album titled „A Night of the Witch.“ To entice fans further, there’s an 8-page booklet included, adding a personal touch for those eager to own a piece of metal history.

The album’s opener, “Sanguini Hominum,” promises booming drums and eerie melodies that lead into tracks like “Soul Eater,” infused with fierce thrash elements. The title track boasts high-energy power metal with thunderous basslines, while „Release Me“ offers a gentle twist with its atmospheric balladry and emotional vocals. As the tracklist unfolds, subsequent songs like “Mirror, Mirror” return to the band’s heavy metal roots, ensuring that both new and long-time fans will find something to enjoy.

A Band of Resilience

Founded in 2015 by rhythm guitarist Romana Kalkuhl, Burning Witches has carved out a unique space in the heavy metal scene. As detailed in Wikipedia, the band’s journey began with a vision for an all-female ensemble and has since evolved into a celebrated group with significant touring experience, including recent performances in the U.S. alongside The Iron Maidens. Current members also include vocalist Laura Guldemond, bassist Jeanine Grob, and drummer Lala Frischknecht, with Courtney Cox stepping in on lead guitar.

With upcoming shows slated in various locations across the United States, including Pompano Beach and Clearwater in late August 2025, and a European tour planned for early 2026, the buzz around Burning Witches is palpable. They’ll continue to hit the road with a lineup that blends seasoned talent with fresh energy.

As „Inquisition“ gears up for its debut, it’s clear that Burning Witches have crafted something truly special, blending hard-hitting themes with their distinctive sound. Mark August 22 on your calendars, metalheads—this is one release not to be missed!
