(Guitar, Vocals), Robert Williams (Guitar), Andy Gonzalez (Bass),
and Scott Palmer (Drums) will be appearing at next year’s Ragnarokkr
Metal Apocalypse Festival April 4-5, 2014 in Chicago, IL.
“This is one of the premier heavy metal festival’s for the U.S. and
we are ready to show Chicago exactly what the
‘Bringers Of Heavy Metal Death’ are made of,” says Williams
The band initially introduced themselves to the metal underground
with a demo recording of their song “A Grim Apparition” shortly
followed by an appearance on the Unbroken Metal Records compilation
Tribute To Angel Witch with their rendition of “Something Wrong.
“Shortly after signing with Heaven and Hell Records WITCHES MARK
released their debut EP A Grim Apparition garnering favorable reviews
from both metal fans and critics alike. In July of this year the band’s
debut full-length LP Witching Metal Ritual was released Heaven and Hell
Records to high praise from both critics and fans worldwide.
Blending elements of thrash, speed, doom, black and death while anchoring
their overall sound firmly within the framework of traditional heavy metal;
WITCHES MARK wear their deep appreciation, understanding and pride
of the metal genre proudly on their collective sleeves.
WITCHES MARK are thrilled to be playing the truest metal festival in
the U.S. that has already hosted some of the best bands of the genre and
will continue in 2014.

“This album is packed with eardrum melting screams, insane guitars
and drums, and put together in one tight, well arranged package.
Crammed with heart racing speed, this whole album contains one track
after another of raw speed and thrashes Metal at its old school finest.
It’s everything great when you think of old school Thrash Metal, and
surprising in some ways that it’s new.” [9/10] – Metal-Temple.com
“Nothing says true metal like Witches Mark. The blood and bones of
metal’s beginnings are beautifully transcribed on the disc like they were
the word of the dark lord being spoken through one of his prophets and
then recorded onto this disc. The influences on this album are so
numerous that I can’t even shake a stick at them all.
There are bits of NWOBHM, black metal, death metal and good
old-fashioned thrash metal as well as power metal and whatever the
heck else you can find. It’s truly a cacophony of flavors, with each
and every track rendered beautifully and worthy of the title
of “old school metal.”
