Symphonic extreme metal act Rapheumet’s Well are streaming their third single “Witch Of Dark Spire”. Drummer Joshua Ward says of the track:
“This song is the first great ‘shift’ in the downfalls of the main character in the story. After being tortured and then remade to fulfill his vengeful mission, he sees in the distance the dark spire. It was Daasha (the witch), his wife’s trusted friend and counselor to the court that betrayed them. She exposed Darmak and his family was executed because of it. You can imagine the burning sensation in your gut to have another shot at the person who has done you so wrong. Each riff outlines the emotions and actions that take place in the characters ascent through the dark spire. This song is like the first ‘boss fight’ for us.”
The song appears on the band’s sophomore record The Exile, which is slated to hit shelves March 18th on Test Your Metal Records. Pre-orders can be picked up here (CD) and here (digital).
