British Hard Rock and Metal band, Wytch Hazel, will release their new album, Wytch Hazel V: Lamentations, on July 4, 2025 via Bad Omen Records (Pøltergeist, Satan’s Satyrs). Recorded with longtime producer Ed Turner (The Ettes, Heavy Trash, Purson), Lamentations builds on the momentum of the band’s catalog, including the LPs Prelude, II: Sojourn, III: Pentecost and 2023’s IV: Sacrament.

In advance of the the LP’s release, Wytch Hazel has released a video for new song, “Elements”, captured by Wild Stag Studio.

Vocalist/guitarist Colin Hendra shares:

Elements is a nod to both 70’s FM radio rock and bands who experimented with interesting and progressive ideas such as BÖC and Kansas. Lyrically, I really enjoyed playing around with the concept of weather and how powerful and beyond the control of man it is. It felt like a challenge at the time, and a little out of my comfort zone, but I’m extremely happy with the song as a whole. It feels cohesive now the time has been spent on it.

Hendra adds:

I believe things have meanings and significance. Music isn’t just a self-indulgent, entertainment thing, for me it’s a huge part of my life, very special, very magical and very meaningful. I want Wytch Hazel to be a force for good, a healing power.
