Portland, Oregon, speed metal band Bewitcher has shared the new single “Out Against the Law” from its upcoming album, “Spell Shock.” The new record is due Sept. 27, 2024, via Century Media Records, and pre-orders are available here.
The music video for “Out Against the Law” features performance footage and behind-the-scenes clips from Bewitcher’s 2024 performances in Hollywood, California, various locations across Mexico and Milwaukee Metal Fest. In addition, the video also features guest appearances from members of Municipal Waste, Goatwhore, Incantation, Cloak, Visigoth and Night Demon.
“Our forthcoming album ‘Spell Shock’ is now available for pre-order!” Bewitcher drummer A. Hunter said. “To celebrate after you smash the pre-order button, pour yourself a double and channel your inner desperado with the new single ‘Out Against the Law!’ One of the first songs written for ‘Spell Shock,’ ‘Out Against the Law’ went from being a twangy country riff, to a full on black magick metal ripper! The music video captures us on our recent U.S./Mexico tour and highlights life on the run with Bewitcher. Crank it up and pre-order ‘Spell Shock’ now!”
Joining Mateo Von Bewitcher, bassist A. Magus and drummer A. Hunter in the studio this time was longtime Bewitcher fan Lars Frederiksen of the punk band Rancid. “It’s the best record I’ve ever produced for one of the best bands in the world,” Frederiksen said.
