Witch Fever return with a vengeance. The genre-defying Manchester four-piece have announced their second full-length album, FEVEREATEN, due for release on 31 October 2025 via Music For Nations / Sony Music.
Since forming in 2017, Witch Fever – Amy Walpole (vocals/lyrics), Alex Thompson (bass), Alisha Yarwood (guitar), and Annabelle Joyce (drums) – have leaped to the forefront of a flourishing UK alternative scene without really fitting into any of its pockets. Fusing punk ferocity with gothic unease, doom-laden atmospherics, and raw vulnerability, the band’s 2022 debut Congregation drew critical acclaim for its cathartic power and blistering intensity. Now, with FEVEREATEN, they push their sound further into uncharted territory.
Produced by Chris W. Ryan (NewDad, Just Mustard, Enola Gay), FEVEREATEN is the result of a deliberate and expansive creative process. Heavier, darker, and stranger than its predecessor, the record draws from metal, ambient, hardcore, and slowcore, layering cello, noise textures, and haunting melodies atop their ever-pummelling foundation. “We wanted to sound bigger,” says Thompson. “To push our sound in ways we couldn’t in a room together.”
Lyrically, FEVEREATEN
identity. “It’s about being on the edge but never quite falling off,” says Walpole, who was diagnosed with autism during the writing process – a moment that reframed much of her life and creative output.
