Swiss metal enchantresses BURNING WITCHES are turning up the heat once again. As anticipation brews for their upcoming album Inquisition, out August 22, 2025 via Napalm Records, the coven has unveiled a blazing new track that’s bound to cast a spell on headbangers worldwide.

Their latest single, “High Priestess Of The Night,” follows hot on the heels of the title track and plunges listeners into a cauldron of classic heavy metal riffs, thunderous hard rock rhythms, and that unmistakable BURNING WITCHES mystique. With a soaring, arena-ready chorus and a searing ’80s-style guitar solo, the track is both a throwback and a real battle cry.

With Inquisition on the horizon, expect to hear this sonic spell, and more, when the band hits the stage on their upcoming tour dates (listed below). Metalheads, prepare for a ritual you won’t forget.

BURNING WITCHES say:

“We chose this good-vibed yet still heavy-themed, catchy mid-tempo song as a second single. This will be an ear catcher and a hip shaker for sure at live shows. This song is a must for everybody… it’s simple but it’s also the way of every Metalhead. If you are a Metalhead, you will like High Priestess Of The Night!”
