Bard-core alt-rockers In Crooked Wonderment released their latest single, "Beaten By The Witch," on December 27, 2024. The track follows their June 2024 hit "Burn the Heretic" and is part of their upcoming EP, which continues the saga started in their March 2024 EP King, produced by Jonny Price of Lower Lane Studios, Stoke-on-Trent.
Vocalist Conor Price shared insights into the single's narrative:"‘Beaten By The Witch’ is the next chapter in the overarching storyline that spans our discography. It tells the tale of a troupe of bards who journey to distant lands and face off against a powerful witch."
Price added:"This track takes a bold step into heavier and more high-octane territory for us. It highlights not only the intense influences that shape our sound but also mirrors the dramatic turn in the story we’re telling as a band."
The new single offers fans an exciting glimpse of what's ahead as In Crooked Wonderment continues to elevate their sound and storytelling to exhilarating new heights.
