Lead Injector Witching Attack CD (Slipcase, 2026, High Roller Records)

Witching Attack is the debut full-length album from Dresden-based black/thrash metal trio Lead Injector, delivering an uncompromising and energetic interpretation of classic extreme metal.

Released through High Roller Records in 2026, Witching Attack introduces Lead Injector as one of the younger bands carrying the spirit of old-school black metal, thrash metal and extreme heavy metal into a new generation. Formed in 2022, the trio quickly established themselves within the Dresden underground metal scene with their 2024 demo From the Crypts... of Hell.

Lead Injector consists of musicians whose first serious band experience developed through earlier solo projects and school ensembles, giving the group a particularly hungry and energetic approach. Rather than attempting to simply imitate established black/thrash formulas, the band place a strong emphasis on memorable songwriting, individual song structures and recognisable riffs.

Witching Attack was recorded during seven intensive days in August 2025 at Stereoid Studios in Schönfels, Saxony. The recording sessions allowed the band to experiment with their sound while maintaining the raw energy and uncompromising character that defines their music.

The album combines re-recorded material originally appearing on the From the Crypts... of Hell demo with newer songs written during the band's development. This gives Witching Attack the feel of both a debut statement and the culmination of Lead Injector's formative years.

Musically, Lead Injector draw heavily from the classic tradition of black/thrash metal and underground extreme metal, combining aggressive guitar riffs, driving rhythms, harsh vocals and a raw old-school atmosphere with catchy song structures. The band's focus on ensuring that every track has its own identity gives the album variety without losing its overall cohesion.

That balance between aggression and memorability is one of Witching Attack's strongest characteristics. The album retains the darkness, speed and hostility expected from black/thrash metal while introducing enough variation and melodic detail to prevent the songs from becoming interchangeable.

High Roller Records' 2026 release brings Lead Injector's debut to a wider audience in a collector-friendly slipcase CD edition, making Witching Attack an appealing addition for fans following the modern revival of classic extreme metal and the underground European black/thrash scene.

Ideal for listeners who enjoy aggressive, riff-driven metal with a raw old-school character, memorable songwriting and a strong connection to the classic underground extreme metal tradition.
