Vipërwitch’s Road to Vengeance: A Heavy Metal Masterpiece Unleashed
Prepare for an unrelenting storm of old-school heavy metal as Vipërwitch, one of the rising stars of the NWOTHM (New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal), unleashes their much-anticipated full-length album, Road to Vengeance, on October 31st, 2024. If you’ve been waiting for a record that perfectly captures the spirit of classic heavy metal while adding a fresh, brutal edge—this is it. From soaring guitar solos to thundering rhythms, this album is bound to shake the foundations of the metal world.
Road to Vengeance is a thrilling ride through 13 electrifying tracks, each telling a tale of warriors, mystical forces, and epic battles. The opening track, “Descendents of the Gods,” sets the stage with its aggressive riffs and mythic undertones, followed by the dark, storytelling brilliance of “Legend of the Midnight Rider” and “The Ritual: Infinite Nocturn Rises.” But it’s not just the tales that captivate—Vipërwitch delivers every song with an intensity that leaves listeners breathless.
The album features incredible guest performances, like Devin Reiche and Nick Daggers, adding their crushing vocals and razor-sharp guitar solos on tracks like “Hellbound” and “Bathory.” Vipërwitch even pays tribute to the godfathers of metal, including sonic elements reminiscent of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath, but with a fresh, fierce twist that makes it unmistakably their own.
At the heart of Vipërwitch is Danica “Lynx the Huntress” Minor, the mastermind behind the band’s creation and its driving force. Lynx’s mastery of the guitar, combined with her unique symphonic and jazz-metal sensibilities, fuels the band’s relentless sound. From her early days writing fantasy-inspired lyrics to leading the charge as a producer, Lynx has built Vipërwitch into a force to be reckoned with in the heavy metal community.
The rhythm section is equally ferocious, with Jason Pinero and Jacob Coellen on bass and drums, respectively. Together with Lynx, they’ve forged a sound as tight as it is devastating—filled with blistering tempos, crushing breakdowns, and haunting melodies.
Vipërwitch has already shared stages with metal legends like Dokken, Lita Ford, Flotsam & Jetsam, and Warbringer, leaving a trail of destruction at every show. Their participation in the Wacken USA Battle of the Bands solidified their place among the top contenders in the modern metal scene. After years of lineup changes and grueling effort, the band’s current lineup is stronger than ever, with alliances formed with power metal titans Celestial Wizard and Anubis, who contribute to the album’s punishing sound.
Now, with Road to Vengeance on the horizon, Vipërwitch is ready to take their place among the gods of heavy metal. This album is more than just a debut—it’s a declaration of war. Vipërwitch is here to keep traditional heavy metal alive, and their bloody hunt for vengeance has only just begun.
Get ready to be blown away on October 31st as Road to Vengeance drops on all platforms. Until then, you can dive into their singles on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music to get a taste of what’s coming.
