New album, “Under Haunted Skies”, out on March 20th!
The new record marks a decisive step forward for the Budapest-based band, further refining the uncompromising attitude and relentless live energy that have earned them a strong reputation within the European underground. With “Under Haunted Skies”, TÜRBÖWITCH deliver their most focused and ferocious material to date: a concentrated blast of massive riffs, breakneck tempos and instinctive urgency.
Rooted in blackened speed-thrash, the album draws from the raw savagery and punk-fuelled aggression of acts like Midnight, the razor-sharp thrash precision of The Crown, and the dark melodic drive of Hellripper, while maintaining a clearly identifiable personality. Melodic accents cut through the chaos, adding depth and character without ever dulling the band’s visceral impact.
Faithful to their no-compromise ethos, TÜRBÖWITCH channel the spirit of ’80s extreme metal through a modern sense of immediacy, delivering songs that are fast, filthy and built for maximum impact. With Time To Kill Records backing the release of “Under Haunted Skies”, the band are poised to bring their unholy speed assault to a wider audience, while remaining firmly rooted in the reckless intensity that has defined them since day one.
TÜRBÖWITCH was born in 2016 in Budapest, founded by vocalist Zslöd and guitarist Kommandante Klit as a raw, no-frills tribute to the sonic fury and visual madness of ’80s extreme metal. What started as a fun side project between longtime friends quickly evolved into a far more focused and dedicated band, without ever losing its unfiltered energy and love for chaos.
Over time, TÜRBÖWITCH grew into a full-fledged live five-piece. Their discography began with a demo in 2016, followed by the debut full-length “Napalm to Posers” (2017), the EP “Beyond the Last Call” (2018), and their second album “Fullmoon Liquorthropy”, released in late 2022.
Musically, TÜRBÖWITCH deliver a volatile mix of early thrash metal aggression, speed metal velocity, and a heavy dose of punk attitude: fast, loud, and completely unrepentant.
On stage, the band have shared the chaos with cult acts from around the world such as Abigail (JP), Mystifier (BR), Nuclear (CL), Blackevil (DE), Adversor (IT), Sexmag (PL), Necro Ritual (UK), Siberian Meat Grinder (RU), Deströyer 666 (AU), and Nunslaughter (US), always bringing booze-fueled energy and unrelenting volume to the pit.
Their momentum reached a new peak in June 2024, when they won the Wacken Metal Battle Hungary finals, earning a coveted slot at the legendary Wacken Open Air in August 2024, where they unleashed their sonic assault on the world’s biggest metal festival stage.
In March 2025, TÜRBÖWITCH hit the road with Swedish heavy metal titans Enforcer, taking their explosive live energy to even wider European audiences.
Hopelessly addicted to fast riffs, unholy noise, and loud parties, TÜRBÖWITCH continue to thrive in the filth and fury of the underground metal scene.
