Hear Witch Fever remixed by VLURE: “I wanted this to sound at home on the dancefloor, and in the pit”

While we patiently wait for a new Witch Fever album – which the band started work on over the summer – there’s a killer new remix to tide us over…

Their Congregation opener Blessed Be Thy has been totally reworked by Glasgow synth-punks VLURE, with Amy Walpole enthusing that: “We knew we wanted VLURE to do this remix because we were really keen to get a Blade Blood Rave vibe!

“Blessed Be Thy is super doomy and heavy at its core so it’s so cool to see how they pulled it apart and put it back together again in such an exciting way,” Amy continues. “Blessed Be Thy is one of our favourite tracks on the album and we love that it has a new lease of life for everyone to enjoy! It celebrates the song and gives new meaning, new anger, and new emotion to it.”

VLURE’s Conor Goldie adds, “When Witch Fever reached out to us to remix one of their tracks it was a no-brainer. I’m a big fan. They’re a terrifyingly intense live band, so it felt fitting to keep the mix aggressive and confrontational whilst giving it the full VLURE treatment. I re-sampled the live drums and re-sequenced different rhythms – will happily die in the pursuit of the perfect breakbeat – grain stretched and scattered Amy’s vocal stem and reworked the live guitar and bass into piercing arps. I wanted this to sound at home on the dancefloor, and in the pit. Some dunt.”
