Witch Fever announce debut album ‘Congregation’ with striking title track
The news comes ahead of the band opening for My Chemical Romance in Milton Keynes this week
Witch Fever have announced details of their debut album, ‘Congregation’ – watch the striking video for its title track below.
The band’s first full-length effort will come out on October 21 via the Music For Nations label, and the announcement comes ahead of Witch Fever supporting My Chemical Romance in Milton Keynes this Thursday (May 19).
Discussing the album’s title track, vocalist Amy Walpole said: “This is Alisha’s [Yarwood, guitarist] personal fave! It marks a new step in our development as songwriters as it’s something different from what we’ve done before. We allowed ourselves to experiment with space and dynamics and we love it!”
Going on to talk about the debut album itself, Walpole added: “As our first album we’re really excited to just get it out there. We feel that it’s a step above what we’ve done before as we had a chance to experiment with sound and structure. It was our first opportunity to explore writing a body of work which was challenging but has been so rewarding!”

MCR began their long-awaited reunion tour in Cornwall last night (May 16). In a five-star review of the show, Rolling Stone UK said: “This was a camp, self-referential and accomplished performance from a now-legacy act who aren’t a nostalgia project or merely doing reunion shows. They’re on top of their game and have the wider rock world and swathes of new young fans eating from the palms of their jazz hands.”
