About the Artist

Burning Witch, a name synonymous with sonic extremity and pioneering drone metal, has carved a unique niche in the annals of heavy music. Formed in the early 1990s, their influence has rippled through countless bands, shaping the trajectory of doom, drone, and experimental metal. Characterised by their immense volume, crushing riffs, and often unsettling, monolithic soundscapes, Burning Witch creates music that is as cathartic as it is challenging. Their live performances are legendary, often described as visceral, overwhelming, and utterly transfixing. Each show is an event, a testament to their unwavering commitment to sonic intensity and artistic integrity. Their output, though not always prolific, has been consistently groundbreaking, leaving an indelible mark on the heavy music scene. Prepare for an auditory assault that is both brutal and beautiful, a sonic tapestry woven with threads of despair, power, and profound introspection.

The Venue

The Musikzentrum Hannover, a well-regarded venue in the heart of the city, provides the perfect canvas for the sonic immensity of Burning Witch. Known for its excellent acoustics and intimate atmosphere, it’s a space where the raw power of live music can truly be felt. With a capacity that allows for a close connection between artist and audience, the Musikzentrum ensures that every note, every tremor of the bass, and every wail of the guitar will resonate deeply. Its reputation for hosting a diverse range of musical acts, coupled with its accessibility, makes it an ideal location for an event of this magnitude. Expect a night where the venue itself becomes part of the sonic experience, amplifying the intensity of Burning Witch’s performance.

What to Expect

Attendees can anticipate a performance that is not for the faint of heart. Burning Witch are renowned for their uncompromising sound, delivering sets that are often characterised by extended, hypnotic passages, immense sonic weight, and a palpable sense of dread and power. Their music eschews traditional song structures in favour of sprawling, evolving compositions that build and recede like a sonic tide. Expect to be enveloped by a wall of sound, a crushing, yet often beautiful, experience that demands your full attention. The atmosphere will be thick with anticipation, and the collective experience of witnessing such a formidable band in such an intimate setting will be unforgettable. This is more than just a concert; it's a ritual, a communal descent into the abyss of sonic exploration. Prepare for a night of pure, unadulterated sonic intensity that will linger long after the final note fades.
