BAND Witchunter

ALBUM METAL DREAM

LABEL Dying Victims Productions

OUT NOv 18th, 2022

OUR RATING 86/100

The third full-lenght of Italian traditional HM band WITCHUNTER, entitled “Metal Dream”, will be available on CD and vinyl LP formats trough DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS.

Surely influenced by NWOBHM, ‘80s European HM, speed, and ‘70s hard rock, they were always able to provide a personal sound.

They are a well-known name on our pages, following them since their starting.

Metal Dream is the name of that long-awaited comeback, the first on DYING VICTIMS.

After an instrumental intro, the first shot is the title-track, a powerful and heavy track, with guitars helped by dynamic rhythmic session; great solo part, harmonies and furious gallops..an awesome opener.

BLACK HORROR is more lilting, with more emphasis reminding the Dio and Tony Marin’s BS era; it’s a feelings’ crescendo that shows us a more mature band.

ROLLING QUEEN starts fast showing the speed HM of the band, with STEVE DI LEO in amazing shape on vocals; awesome solo parts but it’s a well-known trademark.

They go on with DEVIL PREACHER, with the right dose of rhythm and dark shades, followed by classic hm sound of CRIMSON SKIES.

If LEGION is another kick in the teeth..in the best tradition, SPACE RITUAL is a brilliant instrumental track.

After brilliant RESTLESS, HOLD BLACK THE FLAME, with its references to hard rock and 80’s, is one of our favorite that ends in the best way this great platter.

TO RECOMMEND!
