Hexenhammer is the second album from the Swiss all-female heavy metal band Burning Witches

"Powerful riffs, shredding solos, relentless drums and the fiercest frontwoman out there. It would be misguiding to label Burning Witches' second album according to the gender of the musicians. Hexenhammer is simply one of the best old school heavy metal albums of 2018 in the round." - ROCK HARD (IT), Emanuele Biani

Burning Witches are a retro-sounding metal band comprising of 5 leather-clad ladies of astonishing appearance, who seem committed to carry the torch of power, speed and traditional metal to the next generation.

Founded in 2015, debuted with self-titled debut album released in 2017, and the band didn’t only receive the attention of the traditional metal audience but also from one of the scene heavy-weights Nuclear Blast Records, which quickly signed the band.

“Hexenhammer” represents the sophomore offering by the all-female metal outfit fronted by Seraina Telli, who has been hailed by some in the promotional game as a female version of Judas Priest’s Rob Halford. While the merits of such a claim are rather reaching, it must be said that Telli displays a lot of diversity in both range and timbre over the course of the record.
