Acclaimed British hard rock band, Wytch Hazel, have released their new album, Wytch Hazel V: Lamentations.
Recorded with longtime producer Ed Turner (The Ettes, Heavy Trash, Purson), Lamentations delivers uplifting, powerful heavy music, rife with a Maidenesque jubilance, that builds on the momentum of the band’s lush catalogue, including the LPs Prelude, II: Sojourn, III: Pentecost and 2023’s IV: Sacrament, a record hailed as “gloriously bright heavy metal” which landed at #15 on the US Billboard’s Top New Artists Albums in its first week of release.
In celebration of the new LP’s release, Wytch Hazel drops a video for the Sabbathian new track, The Citadel, created by Wild Stag Studio and edited by Ben Liepelt. Flirting with the downcast profundity of Black Sabbath, the yearning mandolin melodies, imploringly epic hooks, plaintive harmonies, and solemn medieval atmosphere of The Citadel make it one of Wytch Hazel’s most affecting tunes.
