Witchtrap is a Colombian band that has relentlessly embodied the spirit of old-school thrash and black metal since their formation in the late 1990s. Born from the fervent metal underground scene of Medellín, Witchtrap was conceived by brothers Hugo Uribe (bass and vocals) and Oscar Uribe (drums), with the later addition of guitarist Ricardo Uribe, solidifying the trio as a force to be reckoned with. The band's name itself, a portmanteau of the words "witch" and "trap", captures the essence of their lyrical themes, which often revolve around occultism, horror, and anti-religious sentiments, all wrapped up in a raw and uncompromising musical style.

Throughout their career, Witchtrap has earned a reputation for their undiluted and unapologetic approach to metal. Albums such as "Sorceress Bitch" (2002) and "No Anesthesia" (2006) exhibit the band's commitment to the primal energy of early metal acts, which they've maintained and honed over the years. The band has also shown a knack for cleverly titled releases that often play on their name and thematic inclinations; releases like "Trap the Witch" (2015) and the blistering "Evil Strikes Again" (2020) not only solidify their place in the metal world but also affirm their dedication to the genre's traditional roots. Despite the music industry's evolution, Witchtrap remains a bastion of authenticity for fans seeking the raw, electrifying thrills of unaltered heavy metal.
