About Burning Witches

Burning Witches is a Swiss heavy metal band that formed in 2014, built on the kind of straightforward metal philosophy that doesn't require much explanation: fast riffs, loud and clear production, and a vocalist who can actually hit her notes. They've carved out a solid lane in modern heavy metal without pretending to be something they're not. Their earlier work established them as competent practitioners of classic heavy metal aesthetics—think late-80s production clarity applied to genuine songwriting. Songs like "Hexenhammer" and "Arson" showcase the band's ability to write hooks that stick around after the song ends, which is rarer in heavy metal than it should be. They're the kind of band that appeals to people who actually like metal rather than the idea of metal, with a focused approach that respects the listener's time.

Their shows are straightforward metal gigs—tight, competent, and heavy. Crowds stay engaged because the band isn't phoning it in. No surprise flourishes or stage production theater, just solid execution that makes the material land harder in a room full of people.

Known for Hexenhammer, Arson, The Crucible, Conjuration, Torched

Burning Witches + Baltimore

Burning Witches brought their Swiss metal intensity to Rams Head Live in March 2024, delivering a tight six-song set that hit harder than it had any right to in that room. They opened with "Unleash the Beast" and moved through the catalog with precision—"Wings of Steel" and "Hexenhammer" landed like they were designed for this exact venue, while "Lucid Nightmare" and "The Dark Tower" showed off the band's knack for building atmosphere within their heavy framework. They closed on their self-titled track, which felt inevitable. It was the kind of set that doesn't overstay its welcome but leaves you wondering why metal shows this focused aren't more common.

Live Music in Baltimore

Baltimore's got a scrappy metal underbelly that appreciates bands who don't waste time with flourish. The city's always been more interested in substance than spectacle—a place where Doom and stoner metal sit comfortably alongside the heavier end of the indie spectrum. Burning Witches fit that ethos perfectly: Swiss precision meeting primal heaviness, no pretense required. Rams Head Live has long been the natural home for this kind of metal, a venue that understands the audience wants craft and intensity in equal measure.

Baltimore road trip to see Burning Witches?

Stay in Canton or Federal Hill—both neighborhoods have the restaurants and bars worth spending time in. Try Alma Cocina for Peruvian fare or Pabu for Japanese if you want something substantial before the show. Walk around the Inner Harbor, grab coffee at a local roaster. The Walters Art Museum is genuinely excellent and free. Check out what's at The Lyric or Hippodrome if there's live music the nights before or after. Baltimore's best asset is that it doesn't feel overly polished—the authenticity matches the vibe of a band like Journey.
