SEVEN WITCHES, featuring the reuniting of Jack Frost on guitar and James Rivera (HELSTAR) on vocals with Mike Lepond (SYMPHONY X) on bass, and Taz Marazz playing drums, continue celebrating the band’s 10th anniversary with a semi family reunion last night at Dingbats in New Jersey. The setlist included classics like 'Camelot', 'The Answer', 'Metal Tyrant', 'Mental Messiah' and the title track to 'Passage To The Other Side' where the crowd was treated to a duet between James and Alan Tecchio (HADES, NON FICTION, AUTUMN HOUR). Also in attendance were former Witches bass players Clint Arent who’s new band (with Alan Tecchio), Autumn Hour, made its live debut tonight, and Kevin Bolembach from the band Infernophonic.

Frost has given the following update: “The Witches anniversary tour is off to a great start. The shows have been great and the band is already a well oiled machine. We look forward to getting back on the road real soon to continue celebrating this band’s ten years of metal! With Mike Lepond and Taz, we have been working together in the studio on these new songs and they are coming along nicely. James was recently on the east coast laying down some vocals and we have two songs finished for the next, yet untitled, Witches album. Not sure though yet what record label will be putting out. Keep checking out the Seven Witches MySpace page for more tour dates and updates on the new album. I also want to give a special thanks to Bernie Rico Jr. Guitars."
