Witchbreed on Bruce Dickinson's BBC Friday Rock Show

Present:

2011 Witchbreed recorded "In Memoriam: Nocturnus" EP as the Original Soundtrack for the book Portuguese Dark Trilogy "Nocturnus". The 4 track EP will mark a new era for the band with a new vocalist.
Past:

Witchbreed was born through the hands of Ares (bass) and Dikk (guitar). After looking for a vocalist, Ruby come on board and Filipe Sousa (guitar) and Tiago "Hollow" Lopes (drums) were added to Witchbreed ranks. Playing live as opening acts for bands like Samael in some of the biggest summer fests in Portugal Witchbreed's live show took critics and audiences by surprise due to their dark energy and furious performance . Such performances have established Witchbreed as a genuine and unexpected groundbreaking band in the current Metal scene. Back in studio Witchbreed recorded two songs: Rebel Blood and Brotherhood of Fang & Claw, released as a streaming promo only. Ascendance Records was impressed enough to offer the band a record deal.

"Heretic Rapture" the debut album, was produced by Waldemar Sorychta (Moonspell, Tiamat, Samael, Lacuna Coil...) From the Pre-production to mastering took the band 12 months to finish the whole record and the album was released in June 2009.

“Heretic Rapture” is one of the heaviest and darkest Metal records ever recorded with female vocals. Witchbreed display a musical dimension of blackened guitar riffs and progressive song structures, underlined by subtle, cinematic keyboards and dramatic, haunting vocals.

The combination of fiercely aggressive song verses with memorable epic choruses make the musical journey through “Heretic Rapture” a mesmerizing experience, concentrating on the dilemmas of existence and the mysteries of human behavior.

“Heretic Rapture” is a solitary scream against the hypocrisy of disbelief and evokes the spirit of resistance in a world now devoid of sense.
