Today, Belgian speed metallers Bütcher reveal the new track “Blessed by the Blade.” The track is the first to be revealed from the band’s highly anticipated third album, On Fowl of Tyrant Wing, set for international release on October 25th via Osmose Productions. Hear Bütcher‘s “Blessed by the Blade” in its entirety here:
Bütcher have exploded onto the scene and have been making a name for themselves internationally. Their music caters to the blackened souls who love old-school speed, thrash, heavy, and black metals. Cuts such as “Iron Bitch,” “45 RPM Metal,” and “666 Goats Carry My Chariot” are now part of the canon of the old-school metal community.
After an avalanche of successful shows and festivals throughout Europe, Bütcher are proud to present their third album, On Fowl of Tyrant Wing. After the rabid debut Bestial Fükkin’ Warmachine (Babylon Doom Cult Records, 2017) and the heralded sophomore album 666 Goats Carry My Chariot (Osmose Productions, 2020), they delve deep into their specific mixture of the golden ’80s and extreme ’90s.
Bütcher have always mixed ancient speed and thrash metal with NWOBHM, classic hard rock and black metal. On side A of the new album, they continue their very own legacy. On side B, they double down on that premise. It’s a concept side with an overarching unique story (written by R Hellshrieker) and a fully composed tour de force (by KK Ripper) where tempo changes, interwoven melodies, sitars, organs, and various percussion instruments create an unexpected musical journey.
Heavy, death, and black metals counter the speed metal, and nobody will see it coming. Both progressive and very traditional, this album is sure to opiate fans and critics alike.
