Swiss heavy metal outfit Burning Witches have announced their sixth studio album, Inquisition, is scheduled to arrive on August 22, 2025 via Napalm Records. The group unveiled a video for the title track to coincide with the announcement.
Produced by Damir Eskic and V.O. Pulver, Inquisition follows 2023’s The Dark Tower and promises a mix of classic heavy metal and fierce instrumentation. Burning Witches will celebrate their new album on their U.S. headlining tour, which will kick off in August.
The band comments:
“We are happy to present you with this epic, classic heavy song full of depth and occult moments that go straight under your skin! From a dark time of mankind, this song was composed with respect to all blood that this time has poured. ‘Inquisition’ will stay as a song that moves our engine with power to do more and more…”
Guitarist Romana Kalkuhl adds:
“As we celebrate our 10 Year Anniversary in 2025, I am very happy as well to announce our sixth album with pride and satisfaction. I am extremely happy to start the next chapter of our metal journey with my girls. The album Inquisition is for those of you who are into legends like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Slayer. Full of power, melodies, double bass drums, heavy riffs and speedy guitar solos, Inquisition is not only our style and lifestyle, it’s our life! From the beginning to the end, it’s the best of us. We and our label Napalm Records are a huge supporter of vinyl records, so with passion and joy we chose some great editions to add to your collectables. Now it’s your time to pick your Inquisition!”
