“Rise of the Witch” review by “Bathory Zine”

Posted On 11-06-202116-06-2021In Reviews

9/10 from Bathory Metal Digital Magazine for our debut album “Rise of the Witch”!

Most of them have sweet touches of Speed Metal and primitive Power Metal in the likes of early Helloween, Savatage or Queensrÿche. These influences seem to be combined with early Iron Maiden and Manowar vibes to deliver this album of pure old-school bliss.

They have an excellent new ten track album out now called 'Children of Gods' which clocks in at around fifty minutes long and is the bands sophomore full length release.

There is variety on this Graywitch album. There’s the double bass driven heavy metal of “Odysseus” and the Iron Maiden like gallop on “The One.” Graywitch go for the heavy metal epic with “Over the Red Sky” and the acoustic beginning and end to “Holy Lands” adds depth.

Transcending the Mundane

Epic heavy metal flows in the new album and you can see this from the intro of the album “Overture To Olympus” that could easily adorn an epic series or movie, even a documentary. The album's flagship is at number eight with wonderful composition and poetic aura. The aggressive "God of War" is coming to put us on the path of tension. Sharp notes, fighting rhythms and high lyrical voice notes. An excellent combination.

The melodies are a strong point of the album. Everything sounds crystal clear, like how it should be ... This album makes you beg for more! If you are a fan of bands like Helloween and Blind Guardian, and/or a mythology freak, do not miss it!

There are hot axe solos, commanding vocals, orchestral nuances and a general feel of serious metal being played, and with nary a flake of cheese in sight... it’s good to see bands evolve positively and I sense that if they stick to their weapons then Graywitch may find a new fan base and do well on the festival circuit.

Country: United Kingdom

Metal Forces Magazine

Yes, it’s true: GRAYWITCH evolved and expanded in the best way possible, bringing out a classy, compact album, so enjoyable to listen to from start to finish! I dare to say that they can now be counted among the great Hellenic epic metal forces.

Θεσπέσιο! Μόνο έτσι μπορεί να χαρακτηριστεί το ντεμπούτο των εκ Θεσσαλονίκης ορμώμενων Graywitch, το οποίο ακολουθεί τις επιτυχημένες διδαχές του περήφανου γερμανικού heavy/power (ιδίως Running Wild, Hellowen)

You can hear that they love the 80's and this music flows straight from their hearts. It is also worth praising the singer Dino Nassis, who has a charismatic voice that may not be overwhelming with aggression, but with an interesting manner and hard rock claw.
