Burning Witches was founded in Spring 2015 in Brugg, beautiful Switzerland, by guitar player Romana Kalkuhl. It has always been her big dream to perform with a women's heavy metal band on stage. Romana started to look for talented ladies for the new combo. Jeanine Grob (bass) a longtime friend, became the first official member. At a party on a festival, Romana met Seraina Telli (singer) for the first time. It clicked right away between the two girls, on a musical and on a personal level. Seraina brought in many ideas and a lot of experience because of her studies at the Music Academy and her band Surrilium. The guitarist and the singer became a great songwriting team right away. Romana wrote her mate Schmier from Destruction/Panzer about her new project, he was interested in the new outfit and the ladies brought him onboard as a producer / consultant.
After an intensive search and different auditions, Burning Witches found Lala Frischknecht, the perfect drummer, and Alea Wyss, guitars for the all chick metal band .
