Bewitcher - Cursed Be Thy Kingdom (2021)

Cursed Be Thy Kingdom is the third album from Portland speed metal trio, Bewitcher, and it is a marked step up for the band. Whilst Bewitcher’s previous efforts have both been solid efforts, Cursed Be Thy Kingdom feels tighter, harder, slicker, but it still retains the rough and ready nature of the band.
Cursed Be Thy Kingdom is an album that you should wreck your neck to. It takes no prisoners and whilst having a bigger budget and perhaps a little more studio wizardry at play, the band do not compromise their values. They rock hard, they rock fast, they pay homage to the dark lord, and ultimately, they deliver. The artwork from Paolo Girardi is also truly spectacular.
