Burning Witches is a Swiss heavy/power metal band, founded by rhythm guitarist Romana Kalkuhl, based in Brugg, Aargau.

Romana Kalkuhl, guitarist with Atlas & Axis, had been looking for a cast for an all-female metal band for a long time.

Over the years, she got to know different musicians and finally found the first cast with bassist Jeanine Grob, drummer Lala Frischknecht and lead singer Seraina Telli.

It is not a concept album in the strict sense, although the book of the same name plays a role in some songs.

On 4 December, the band released The Circle of Five EP before recording their fourth studio album, The Witch of the North.

[10] Burning Witches is mainly influenced by the heavy metal of the 1980s, while the musicians also listen to other music.

Among other things, Sonia 'Anubis' Nusselder also played in the death metal band Sephiroth.

Musically, the band is reminiscent of Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper and Judas Priest.
