Manchester’s genre-defying four-piece Witch Fever return today with their most visceral statement yet: 'FEVEREATEN', the punishing title track from their forthcoming second album, due on the 31st October via Music For Nations / Sony.
A blistering fusion of doom-laden riffs, industrial noise, and haunting gothic atmospheres, 'FEVEREATEN' expands on the band’s already volatile sound. As with much of Witch Fever’s work, it’s lyrically unflinching, a confrontation with religious trauma, mental anguish, and self-perception.
“I wrote ‘FEVEREATEN’ when I realised I couldn’t stop myself writing about the church,” explains vocalist and lyricist Amy Walpole. “It’s about feeling drained by that fixation and being consumed by intrusive thoughts. I’m angry that I struggle more than others and feel like a burden – but I’m also determined to hold onto that anger and use it productively.”
Following earlier singles 'THE GARDEN', a distorted anti-patriarchal roar, and 'DEAD TO ME!', which twisted raw punk into something more experimental, 'FEVEREATEN' shows the band at their heaviest and most cathartic.
