Witchcraft by Outerburst

Witchcraft is the darkest, heaviest, and most personal Outerburst record to date, a journey through eerie atmospheres, aggressive riffing, and introspective storytelling. The album opens with “Inception”, an instrumental track that sets the spooky, cinematic tone with symphonic layers and signature heavy guitars. The title track “Witchcraft” blends fast riffs, haunting arrangements, and huge choirs while questioning whether we truly live life on our own terms or wait for fate to intervene. “The Gathering” channels the band’s groovy, doomy side with crushing riffs and melodic vocal layers, followed by “Tormented”, a frantic, chaotic song inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Man of the Crowd”. With “Survival of the Fittest”, the band goes back to one of the first melodies ever written, capturing a time of struggle when Outerburst was still an idea born out of personal battles. “Bloodshot Eyes”, featuring Buzz from Memories of a Lost Soul on vocals, is our scream against cyberbullies and the monsters that crawl into real life through hate and indifference, while the instrumental “At The Mountains of Madness” takes listeners deep into Lovecraftian horror with dark soundscapes and a hypnotic guitar solo by Glen Drover (ex-Megadeth, King Diamond). “The Fallen Angel Rebirth” envisions the rise of evil as if Satan himself emerged to corrupt mankind among the total indifference for life by all human beings. “Phenomena” closes the record with a tribute to the horror soundtracks of Goblin and the chilling influence of Dario Argento’s films. This album is our statement, blending heavy music, horror culture, and raw emotion into one relentless experience.

OUTERBURST is a modern melodic heavy metal project by producer and bass player Santo Clemenzi (From The Depth, Mindohm).
