WITCHERY mastermind Jensen states about \u201cPopecrusher\u201d,\u00a0\u201cSetting the benchmark for the new album, \u201cPopecrusher\u201d is the first foreshadowing aural assault from our new album “Nightside”. All the pieces fell into place with this album and we can’t wait for everyone to hear the album in its entirety. “Nightside” is our first attempt at writing a concept album, and \u201cPopecrusher\u201d is of course a part of that story. We hope you love the soul-incinerating heaviness of \u201cPopecrusher\u201d as much as we do. More great things are soon to come. Do the W!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nightside<\/em>\u00a0will be released in the following formats: jewelcase CD, 180g. vinyl LP (either as black vinyl or as limited transparent red vinyl of 500x copies via CM Distro\/Mailorder) and as digital album.
