BEFORE THE WINTER

Witchwood were born in 2014 from the ashes of Buttered Bacon Biscuits, they released
a self-produced Cd in 2010 “From the solitary woods” (reprinted on Cd and Lp by Jolly
Roger Rec. in 2017) and positively reviewed by many italian and foreign music magazines
and websites. After the split some members of the band followed mastermind
Ricky (vocals, guitar and main writer of B.B.B. and Witchwood) in the Witchwood
project. Debut album “Litanies From The Woods” (2015) is the result of 2 years of
songwriting, long and hard rehearsals and recording sessions and features ten tracks
(78 minutes) and it is a long journey from 70’s hard rock, to progressive, psych, southern
rock and blues. Got very excellent acceptance from public and press, both in and
outside Italy, which allowed a strong promotional-push: they played live at Hammer
of Doom and as guest for The Vintage Caravan in Germany, and at Malta Doom Metal
Fest, deserved good visibility on all main specialized webzines and magazines; both
Cd and Lp first runs went quickly sold out. Rightly Witchwood were considered one of
the best bands from the new “retro-rock” wave, voted as “best emerging band in 2015”
by Rock Hard Italy readers and reached the final in the italian Wacken Metal Battle
competition. One year later the acclaimed debut, Italian 70’s hard rockers Witchwood
came back with ‘Handful Of Stars’ the right way to celebrate the appreciations received
for the debut album, to introduce the new guitar player Antonino Stella, appreciated
session man and long time Ricky’s friend and to present new videoclip for “Handful
of Stars” with drawings by artist Dimitri Corradini. Last 4 years the band played live
and collected all the energies and inspirations to release the new, best possible album,
entitled “Before the Winter”. A long time, but worths the wait! Available on gatefold
cover 2 Lp with bonus track, Cd, Digital.
