Sweden’s WITCHERY, imprecated in 1997, return with Don’t Fear The Reaper, 13 maliciously groove-oriented tracks. Combining black, death, and retro thrash, the band have created a savagely catchy album. Begun in 1997 when their cult band Satanic Slaughter splintered, WITCHERY started as guitarists Patrik Jensen (The Haunted) and Richard Corpse, vocalist Toxine, drummer Mique, and bassist Sharlee D'Angelo (Arch Enemy, Mercyful Fate). In 1998 they recorded their pioneering debut, Restless And Dead, released that year by Necropolis Records. The album was so extremely well received that WITCHERY released the Witchburner minialbum later that year. The EP featured two originals and four cover songs bearing witness to the individual musicians’ influences. Not long after its release, WITCHERY embarked on 1999’s infamous U.S. tour with Emperor and Borknagar. Their second full-length album Dead, Hot And Ready was unleashed soon thereafter, and a six-week early 2000 European tour followed. Symphony For The Devil, the band’s 2001 release, was recorded at Berno Studio (Amon Amarth, Dark Funeral) Malmö, Sweden with new skinsman, Martin “Axe” Axenrot (Bloodbath). Returning to tour North America later that year with The Haunted, WITCHERY again left fans spellbound with their live performance. Returning to Berno Studios in 2004 the band recorded Don’t Fear The Reaper, this time entrusting mixing duties to Tue Madsen and his Antfarm Studios (The Haunted, Heaven Shall Burn, Himsa). With the smoldering album in hand, the band signed a worldwide record deal with Century Media. The U.S. release features an exclusive cover version of Satanic Slaughter’s classic “Legion Of Hades.”
