“More serious, more respectful and more authentic” is the definition of the new MYSTIC CIRCLE epic ‘Hexenbrand 1486’ - a statement that certainly applies to the band's attitude. The extreme metal band's tenth studio album is largely about the “Malleus Maleficarum”, the witches' hammer, which was written in Speyer in 1486. A pitch-black mix of death, black and traditional heavy metal with a horror soundtrack flair.
