Dear Witchered,
We suggest visiting our new BANDCAMP PAGE to grab your NATURAL BORN SINNERS album, official t-shirts, and all merchandise.
All bands are suffering because of the plague quarantine and several restrictions on live shows. We still don’t know exactly when we will be able to tour. We are managing some festivals, but there is nothing yet before Spring 2021. It’s really a mess…
Your best way to help music is to stay aside bands you like, buy music or merch and wait for the hell to be released on stage in a hopefully near future.
NATURAL BORN SINNERS is going to hit 21st May. We released the second lyric video single, the track dedicated to GIORDANO BRUNO.
“Perchance you who pronounce my sentence are in greater fear than I who receive it.…” These were almost the words Giordano Bruno said to the ecclesiastic jury at the end of the process when he was condemned to arson as a heretic.
He was killed by the Catholic Inquisition in 1600 in Rome because he refused to renounce his thoughts and books, claiming the unity of God with Nature. Bruno was a priest, magician, philosopher and a man of literature, one of the brightest mind of the past. The fire wasn’t his requiem but the enlightenment of his words, giving them as a heritage to centuries.
As Circle Of Witches belongs to the same land from South Italy, the band lived in the places who inspired Bruno’s views on Mother Nature, stepped onto the soil he used to walk centuries ago and had the same feelings watching the mountains, the rivers and the skies he saw before. This is a tribute to his strength, freedom, and courage, his fighting against the Church until the end. He was a true revolutionary man.
WE’RE REALLY EXCITED! FINALLY, NATURAL BORN SINNERS IS READY TO STRIKE! THE ALBUM WILL BE RELEASED ON SLIPTRICK RECORDS THE NEXT 21st MAY! YOU CAN EASLY PRE-ORDER AT THIS LINK!
one again we have to announce a line up changing. Nowadays music can’t be a real job, so our former bassist and lead guitarist had to part their ways from ‘witches in February. They’re now officially replaced by two new members:
Joe WISE MAN Dardano at lead guitar and back vocals
Tony FARAWAY Farabella at bass guitar and back vocals
They had their stage baptism during the last Bones Party edition, near Naples.
Joe played a long time in MARSHALL and HEAVENSHINE, two well-known metal bands in Naples. Tony is a young and very talented musician and plays in our friends’ band 3RD.
Joey HELMET Coppola – drums Joe WISE MAN Dardano – lead guitar and back vocals Mario HELL Bove – lead vocals and guitar Tony FARAWAY Farabella – bass and back vocals
finally, we released the lyric video of TONGUE OF MISERY, the first single from our upcoming album “Natural Born Sinners“. It’s a blasting song made of heavy metal with a thrashing punch and we chose it as the album’s opening track.
It’s a pamphlet against obscurantism and religions, a rebellion for all free minds and souls. We hope you all join our revolution.
here we are! As announced, this is the Cover Art for our upcoming album NATURAL BORN SINNERS, third full length in our career. It shows an eyeless Lucifer, the first Rebel, the First Sinner, the first to be condemned by god.
We hired for the second time our trustworthy graphic designer Nikos Markogiannakis(ROTTING CHRIST, ANUBIS GATE, DIE SEKTOR), author of the previous Rock the Evil artwork. He built this majestic figure, strong, tormented, dynamic although held down in the flames of Hell by a barbed wire.
We wrote nine new songs following the concept of rebellion dealing with the Fallen Angel or the mage and philosopher Giordano Bruno, from Spartacus to Anton Lavey, until those free spirits cursed and blamed as “witches”.
While we’re looking for a good contract, we are managing promotion strategy and tour in sight of the album’s official release.
we’re going to end up this 2017, our 13th year of heavy metal. This one was a turning point in our life, we overcame some important changes (life itself changes…) and won some struggles.
Finally, we received NATURAL BORN SINNERS final master from our producer. Some things went out of plans such as delays, accidents, misunderstandings, shit… But we didn’t give in, we never stopped our activity because we deeply believe in our music and force.
Uo to now, we got some labels interested in our work. We have some other to get in touch with and soon we’ll be able to deal a contract with the best of them.
Good news even in the live festival scenario. We received a couple of proposals and we’re waiting for the official statement to make you all know what will be our next gigs.
Meanwhile, we wish you all the best for the 2018 and we hope you’ll be still with us on our journey.
“NATURAL BORN SINNERS” is almost ready. The mixing phase is done. Our trustworthy designer, Nikos Markogiannakis, is working on the artwork and very soon we’ll reveal it. He said this is a great work and we can’t wait to see what is going to happen.
we stepped out our 13th Spring. Though being older than a dirty dozen of years, we had a new beginning 5 years ago when we decided to focus on a professional path.
Since 2012 we started to tour in Europe, signed our first deal with a label, worked with a producer for the first time, recorded the second full lenght, toured in Russia as opening band for Doro and Udo, joined some international festival and still we faced the third album chapter.
We’re are at the top of our enthusiasm and we wanna share it with you all. We wanna invite you to join our friend, fan and us during the next Circle of Witches’ gig in Salerno on the 24th March. We’re going to play as main guest of “Metal of the Southern Star“, along with Wildime and Wolfear. We will show you some brand new songs from the upcoming “NATURAL BORN SINNERS”, our latest album produced by ALEX AZZALI and NICHOLAS BARKER.
we were very busy during this Summer. After coming back from Germany, we received some proposals for shows. We played at three festivals in the Suth of Italy gathering great interest and enthusiasm.
At the very end of Summer, we had a trip to north for nice a stoner festival and had a little accident. Our Ricko bass went into pieces falling out of the car’s top box. Anyway, we had a great show that night.
Are you waiting for our next album? Yeah! Mixing process started and is going on slowly meanwhile our producer is contacting some big labels… We think something is going to happen on the next January or February! Stay tuned for updates!
