York, Pennsylvania vintage proto-metal purveyors SPELLBOOK will release their sophomore full-length, \u201cDeadly Charms\u201d, this September via Cruz Del Sur Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The follow-up to 2020\u2019s \u201cMagick & Mischief\u201d was recorded in February at Developing Nations in Baltimore, Maryland, with producer\/engineer Kevin Bernsten. The album also marks the SPELLBOOK recording debut of their two new guitarists, Les Yarde and Patrick \u201cPatty\u201d Benton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe material has new life injected into it while still maintaining the adventurous \u201970s hard rock sound we strive for,\u201d says drummer Nick Zinn. \u201cIt certainly helped Les and Patty love \u2018Magick & Mischief\u2019 and its no-rules approach. Yet, at the same time, \u2018Deadly Charms\u2019 does seem a bit more focused. We love how the overall vibe has a more anthemic feel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Zinn, the lyrical themes on \u201cDeadly Charms\u201d lean much heavier on horror and reality than the fantasy and fiction approach found in \u201cMagick & Mischief\u201d. The David Thi\u00e9rr\u00e9e (BEHEMOTH, MORTIIS, IHSAHN)-created artwork capably showcases these topics.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe cover depicts an open spell book spewing forth witches, devils and other ghastly things,\u201d notes Zinn. \u201cThese are all subject matters within \u2018Deadly Charms\u2019 songs. We\u2019ve been fortunate to work with so many great artists over the years on different albums dating back to our WITCH HAZEL days and enjoy the excitement of a new artist on each project we do.\u201d

\u201cMagick & Mischief\u201d was released in the thick of the global pandemic. While it put a premature end to the band\u2019s touring plans, it immediately cultivated a feverish critical following. Teeth Of The Divine called it \u201cone of the best and most original heavy metal albums that seems like it was recorded in the \u201970s and just received an updated remastering.\u201d At the same time, Toilet Ov Hell noted, \u201cThis record is stuffed to bursting with hooky, moody riffs, stuffed like a filing cabinet full of promising leads.\u201d

The run-up to the release of \u201cDeadly Charms\u201d will find SPELLBOOK busy with a myriad of projects \u2014 including some much-desired plans to hit the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are working on shooting videos for a few songs off the record,\u201d says Zinn. \u201cOnce the album is released, we really want to tour this time around. This new lineup has been gigging for a little while now and is eager to play these new songs anywhere and everywhere we can.\u201d
