Belgian speed metallers Bütcher have exploded onto the scene and have been making a name for themselves internationally. Their music caters to the blackened souls who love old school speed, thrash, heavy and black metal. Cuts such as Iron Bitch, 45 RPM Metal and 666 Goats Carry My Chariot are now part of the canon of the old school metal community.

After an avalanche of successful shows and festivals throughout Europe they are proud to present their 3th LP “ON FOWL OF TYRANT WING”. After the rabid debut “BESTIAL FÜKKIN' WARMACHINE” (Babylon Doom Cult Records, 2017) and the heralded sophomore album “666 GOATS CARRY MY CHARIOT” (Osmose Productions, 2020), they delve deep into their specific mixture of the golden 80's and extreme 90's.

BÜTCHER have always mixed ancient speed and thrash metal with NWOBHM, classic hard rock and black metal. On side A of the new album, they continue their very own legacy. On side B they double down on that premise. It's a concept side with an overarching unique story (written by R Hellshrieker) and a fully composed tour de force (by KK Ripper) where tempo changes, interwoven melodies, sitars, organs and various percussion instruments create an unexpected musical journey.

Heavy, death and black metal counter the speed metal and nobody will see it coming. Both progressive and very traditional, this album is sure to opiate fans and critics alike. 

Saint Vitus‘ album “Die Healing” is a masterpiece of doom metal that showcases the band’s ability to create a dark and powerful atmosphere. From the haunting guitar riffs to the thunderous drumming, every aspect of this album is designed to transport the listener to a gloomy and foreboding world.

One of the standout tracks on the album is “Dark World“, which features slow, crushing riffs that build tension and create a sense of impending doom. The vocals, delivered with raw intensity, add to the overall sense of despair and hopelessness that permeates the song. Another highlight of “Die Healing” is the track “Let the End Begin“, which showcases the band’s skill at creating a sense of dread and unease. The eerie guitar melodies combined with the powerful drumming create a sense of impending darkness that is hard to shake off.

Saint Vitus, a pioneering band in the doom metal genre, has been able to consistently deliver albums that are characterized by their dark and heavy sound. “Die Healing” is no exception, as it is a testament to the band’s ability to create music that is both heavy and atmospheric.

This album is re-released on vinyl with a triple Deluxe Gatefold cover, in two colors (Marbled Red / Marbled White), each edition is limited to 500 copies.
