Witchery’s spell was cast upon our earthly existence when four members splintered off Satanic Slaughter in 1997: Jensen (later with The Haunted), Richard Corpse, Toxine and Mique.
We had such a great time together that we decided to continue under another name”, recalls Jensen (guitars).
Before recording their debut-album “Restless And Dead”, Jensen met Sharlee D'Angelo (also of Arch Enemy and Mercyful Fate fame, among others) and got him on board for the unholy alliance.
The album was released in 1998 and was very well received, so Witchery recorded the "Witchburner" mini-album later during the same year.

Not too long after its release, Witchery did their first US tour together with Borknagar and Emperor in July of 1999 and didn’t take much time to rest.
Their second full-length album “Dead, Hot And Ready” was unleashed soon thereafter and was followed by a six week European tour with Moonspell and Kreator in early 2000.
After concentrating on duties with their other bands, Witchery got back together to record "Symphony For The Devil” in 2001.
It was the first recording with their current drummer Martin Axenrot (also in Bloodbath and Opeth, as well as a late member of Satanic Slaughter) who joined the circle of black magic after Mique had left the band.
Later during the same year Witchery did a US tour along with The Haunted before falling into hibernation for some time.
Their debut on Century Media Records, “Don’t Fear The Reaper” came out 2006, showcasing not only a cover-version of the Satanic Slaughter classic “Immortal Death”, but also Witchery’s feel for catchy and precise metal tunes.
"In His Infernal Majesty's Service" is released November 2016, while the latest one "I Am Legion" is released in fall 2017
Now they come back with the new full lenght album "Nightside".
