Witchery is finally coming back to life according to a recent posting from guitarist/songwriter Patrik Jensen. Now that work with The Haunted's (Jensen's other band) new album is done, there's time for the guys to release a new album which is currently being mixed and mastered. No word on a title or label, but they hope to have it out by the end of the year. I'm sure we'll hear more soon.
