The forests and wilds of Hungary are home to myriad folk tales and ancient practices. It’s these that two-piece WitcheR - keyboardist/vocalist Karola Gere and guitarist/ vocalist Roland Neubauer - channel into black metal as archaic and mystical as their surroundings.
“We live in a secluded village where, believe it or not, the belief in witches was still very much alive just a few decades ago,” Roland details on the roots of their obsession. “I didn’t need to look back as far as the Middle Ages – it was enough to just listen to the stories of the elders. We live right next to the forest, so every day we are confronted with the beauty and force of nature.”
