Witch Club Satan - You Wildflower

A few weeks ago I made the epic trip into the hills of Transylvania to attend the 2025 edition of the Rockstadt Extreme Music Festival.  It's been a while since these old bones have braved a multi day festival, but the allure of spending 5 days seeing some truly awesome bands in the shadow of a gothic fortress surrounded by ancient forests (and apparently a lot of bears) was too much to resist.  And the festival did not disappoint.  It had some real heavy hitters playing the main stages (Gojira, Emperor, Machine Head, Sepultura), but the third stage was definitely the most fun.  Hosting the more extreme and ecclectic bands on the line up, that's where today's band possibly stole the entire show (and I think, possibly also stole my wife).

Witch Club Satan are an all female black metal band hailing from the only true home of the genre, Norway.  The music is everything you'd expect from a modern iteration of the genre - loud, angry, passionate, and their live show was powerful to say the least with arguably one of the best vocal performances I've heard in years.  I’m also led to believe they’re actual witches .. whether you buy into that sort of thing or not, I can tell you they scared the shit out of me enough that I won’t be fact-checking it any further.

Relatively new on the scene, having only formed in 2022, they've got one solid album which is definitely a solid listen.  For our pick today though, we're going with the band's latest single You Wildflower, that dropped in June this year.  Enjoy!
