Burning Witches

Burning Witches is a Swiss all-female heavy metal band that brings an old-school, riff-heavy sound reminiscent of classic acts like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, but with a modern, fiery edge. Formed in 2015 by guitarist Romana Kalkuhl, the band quickly made waves in the European metal scene with their powerful vocals, dueling guitar harmonies, and driving rhythms. Their music blends traditional heavy metal with speed and power metal elements, creating a dynamic sound that's both nostalgic and fresh.

The band has gained a reputation for high-energy performances and a strong visual identity, often leaning into dark, mystical, and occult themes in both their music and artwork. Albums like "The Dark Tower" and tracks such as "Unleash The Beast" and "World On Fire" showcase their ability to channel raw power and melody in equal measure. With a steadily growing international fanbase and a string of acclaimed releases, Burning Witches continue to fly the flag high for women in metal.
