Burning Witches
RMD’z Warm-Up-Party
The year is almost two months old and time is flying by. 28 February is finally here: the Rock & Metal Day's Warm-Up Party is taking place at the clubhouse of the organising association, M.A.DE. for Kids e. V. Many guests have 'threatened' to come, so it won't just be club members there — one could truly say that this is a very well-attended event. Two excellent bands will perform live: Tinnitus Attavk and Blessed Child.
Burning Witches – and Kings – 2026
Burning Witches are currently on their European 'Witches and Kings' tour and back on German soil. Tonight, they will be performing at Kammgarn in Kaiserslautern. The show sold out, so it was moved from the Cotton Club to the larger Casino to accommodate more metalheads, and even this larger venue was very crowded.
Live: New Year’s Bash Vol. 3
As some of you may have noticed, I finished the 2025 concert year with the Swiss band Fire Rose's Finale Furioso at KIK in Sissach. I told you about traditions, so here we go again: we will begin the 2026 concert year with a Swiss headliner at MystericA’s New Year's Bash Vol. 3 at Eventhall Airport Obertraubling. It's a bit of a family reunion because members of the Rock & Metal Day'z festival crew will either be performing on stage or watching the three bands from the front. All of them have already played on this cosy festival and one will perform as this year’s Friday night headliner…
December Newsflash
2025 is coming to an end. Most people count down the days by Christmas or New Year’s Eve. Metalheads are caught in Whamageddon until the bitter end out of the sudden. Nevertheless there are some occasions left over for a good old Headbangers Ball.
Chatting with Laura of Burning Witches
A few days before the release of ‘Inquisition’, the sixth album by Burning Witches, we interviewed the band’s vocalist. The last time I met her was at Rock & Metal Day’z 2024, where Burning Witches headlined the festival and the band were present throughout. We talk about babies, the album, music, tours and much more. So, without further ado, let's hear what Laura Guldemond has to say.
Burning Witches – Inquisition
When Courtney Cox joined Burning Witches due to Larissa’s pregnancy, I knew this is the ultimate line-up for this Swiss metal band. I am therefore more than happy to review the band's forthcoming release “Inquisition” which is the first to feature Courtney as one of the two lead guitarists. Hopefully, there will be more to come in the future. Praising the excellent technical skills of the five musicians would be like taking coals to Newcastle. So, without further ado, let's check out the 12 tracks.
August 2025 – Single Release News
After summer holidays with 3 festivals in a row and a lot of writing and editing, it seems to be time for a little release update which of course is not complete and never will be.
July15th is the band we start with.
Fire Rose – Finale Furioso
What could be better than going to a concert just before Christmas? Right, go with your metal buddy. What is an even better idea? To end the concert year with the same band you started it with. So we make our way to the Swiss town of Sissach near Basel and here we are, ready for the Finale Furioso of our most beloved Swiss guys, Fire Rose!
Rock & Metal Day’z 2024 – Here We Were
The festival once again was worth all the efforts and it proved that metal is not male dominated anymore with the two headliners on Saturday being all female bands, the co-headliner on Friday being female fronted and the audience being a good mix of generations and genders. Metal unites.
