Karyn Crisis — best known for her trademark melodic singing and growling roars as the vocalist of CRISIS (1993-2006) and EPHEL DUATH (2011-2014) — will return with a new project, KARYN CRISIS’ GOSPEL OF THE WITCHES, and consequent album, Salem’s Wounds, this Spring. Due out March 9th in Europe and March 24th in North America via Century Media Records, Salem’s Wounds contains 13 tracks recorded by Karyn together with Davide Tiso (EPHEL DUATH), Ross Dolan (IMMOLATION), Mike Hill (TOMBS) and Charlie Schmid (VAURA). A new video for the album track, “The Alchemist”, can now be viewed below:

Karyn Crisis comments: “I’m thrilled to release a new track off our forthcoming album entitled ‘The Alchemist,’ which is one of my favorite songs. While we’ve mostly released images and video clips full of atmosphere around the concept of this album, I felt that now is the perfect time for you to meet the band. We’ve all been rehearsing in preparation for our upcoming March shows, and we’ve been making a lot of magic in that rehearsal space, and have filled it with our hearts and souls. Bob Vigna of IMMOLATION filmed and edited this video. Enjoy the vibes and meet the band: Davide Tiso guitars, Bob Vigna guitars, Ross Dolan bass and vocals, Charlie Schmid drums, and Karyn Crisis vocals.”
