BEWITCHER

Bewitcher is a Satanic speed metal band from Portland, Oregon. Here is their manifesto: oRock AEnAE roll is the devilAEs music, and heavy metal is itAEs bastard child. In the 1980s, the radical fundamentalist Christian right-wing in America waged a war against this music, bringing itAEs practitioners and itAEs unholy muse to the forefront of the public consciousness. Over a quarter-century later, the devilAEs rock AEnAE roll is still alive and well, but the war is far from over. And so it came to pass... oIn the year of Thirteen of SatanAEs third millennium, a new force rises to defend the ways of old. Bewitcher is the ancient black flame of magic, mayhem, freedom and liberation, burning in blatant opposition to the laughable norms of this modern age. Instead they look to that bygone era, before itAEs pollution by imitators of a lesser intention, when heavy metal in all itAEs glory truly represented the tenets it was founded upon. oMay your children be corrupted, may your foundations be shaken, may your mundane existences be forever altered, for this spell cannot be broken. Fall and obey! And beware the curse of the Bewitcher!o
