Mark your calendars for August 15th – Austrian Stoner Rock powerhouse Witchrider is back with a vengeance. Their new 6-track EP, “Metamorph,” is a high-octane evolution of the band’s signature style: Heavy, Fuzz-laden riffs paired with brooding, catchy melodies and emotionally raw lyrics. It’s a sonic journey through personal struggles and visceral moods, all delivered with unmistakable intensity.
Breaking away from the more polished tones of their previous release “Electrical Storm,” “Metamorph” leans into a rawer, more unfiltered sound. As frontman Dan explains, “It took several attempts and studio setups to capture the direct, raw power of the drums and blend them with our heavy guitars to build the wall of sound we had in mind.”
Formed in 2012, Witchrider have built a reputation as a must-see live act. Their explosive performances and gritty vocals have drawn comparisons to early Queens of the Stone Age and Foo Fighters — and with good reason. The band’s chemistry on stage is undeniable, their sound unapologetically loud and emotionally charged.
After making waves with their song “Bad Boy” featured in the final season of the US hit series “Shameless,” Witchrider is once again proving why they’re one of Europe’s most exciting names in underground Rock. With “Metamorph,” they’re not just back — they’re reborn.
