This is one of those interviews that was held up due to the band in question having an engagement far more important than yet another press monkey asking a predictable slew of questions. Gearing up for the May 2023 release of their new album, The Dark Tower, Swiss metalheads Burning Witches took time out from the promo junket to take part in the Monsters Of Rock Cruise 2023. The six-day cruise offered Burning Witches the chance to not only perform to an international audience in close quarters, but also for many of their peers. With some unexpected results...
"The Monsters Of Rock Cruise was very cool with great people," says founding drummer Lala Frischknecht. "They treated us very well, and it was the first time we had this type of long cruise, going to the Dominican Republic and Haiti. We had shows, tutorials, interviews, everybody got sunburned... it was great (laughs). We played on opening day, and we closed the cruise. We had a great time."
"We actually had some help from Queensrÿche, because they were at our first show. They said it was sad that we were playing the small stage because the sound wasn't very good. So, they let us borrow their mixer and their lighting guy for our second show. They are friends of Courtney (Cox / The Iron Maidens guitarist - standing in for Larissa Ersnt, who is on maternity leave) and just let us have their guys for free; we were so shocked and so grateful. The whole experience was just unbelievable because we are sort of a new band, and we had all these bigger bands - like the guys from Queensrÿche and Winger - watching us. It gave us a huge rush of energy."
