Wicca was originally released in the early 90s and has seen a few reissues by labels worldwide. However, for many years, the album has been out of print. The audio portion of this release will feature, aside from the full album, bonus tracks not before available in any previous version. The DVD will contain two concerts by the band: One performed in Germany during the Nuclear War Now Festival and the other performed in their hometown of Salvador, Brazil. Visually, the digipak will feature a new graphics layout as well as old photos from the band. A vinyl version of the album is also to follow.

 

MYSTIFIER is currently making plans for the “Old Hymns for World Domination” World Tour 2014 that will see the band playing material off of Wicca and its 1993 follow-up, Goetia.

Mystifier has been active for over 20 years and, alongside bands such as Blasphemy and Beherit, were pioneers of Black Metal in the early 90’s. Their style can be described as savage, unapologetic and utterly satanic Black Metal drawing influence from Masters of the genre such as Sarcofago, Bathory, Vulcano, and early Sepultura.

 

Mystifier current lineup:

Beelzeebubth: guitar / vocals

Sorcerer DoUrden: vocals/bass/keys

 

Poisonous: percussion y timpanos
