Witch Fever announce second album, FEVEREATEN
Manchester four-piece Witch Fever have announced their second full-length album, FEVEREATEN, alongside the release of lead single, "THE GARDEN".
The new track sees vocalist Amy Walpole subverting the Garden of Eden myth into a rallying cry against patriarchal control. The track is Witch Fever’s second single this year, following “DEAD TO ME!”.
FEVEREATEN, which follows their 2022 debut album, Congregation, explores the feeling of being consumed by trauma, history, or 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. The result is a body of work that doesn’t just rage against the past, but tries to make peace with it.
Speaking about the album and “THE GARDEN”, the band said: "FEVEREATEN is raw, vulnerable, haunting and furious. Where our debut album Congregation dealt with my experience growing up in a Charismatic Christian church head on, FEVEREATEN takes a step back, finding horror in the subtleties of dealing with religious trauma, as well as mental health struggles, relationships and nearing 30 in a world that’s eating itself alive. Whilst the album is dark and unforgiving in places it is also heartfelt and joyful in others. It doesn’t take itself too seriously and asks you to find excitement and life in difficult times."
