Swiss heavy metal powerhouse BURNING WITCHES have announced their new studio album, Inquisition, out August 22, 2025 via Napalm Records. On their sixth studio album, the band returns with a darker, more thunderous brew, diving headfirst into the themes of medieval persecution, religious oppression, and the unbreakable spirit of resistance. Featuring 12 brand-new tracks, the album marks a bold new era: forged in the flames of power/heavy metal, sharpened by anthemic songwriting and epic instrumentation.
A music video for the album’s title track has just premiered. This first single breaks open the gates with a tempest of high-energy power metal, as thunderous bass lines, pounding drums and twin guitars dripping in witchery support Laura Guldemond’s hair-raising vocals, channelling raw emotion and groove. Check it out below.
