Icarus Witch

Big News Tonight On The Classic Metal Show. 3 Rivers Prog Fest All Day.
We're getting ready to head to the 3 Rivers Prog Fest (3RP) for the day. If you're in the area, stop out, we'll be in the vendor tent kissing hands & shaking babies.


Otherwise, tune in to The Classic Metal Show (in our top friends for more info) tonight at 9 for the first of several big announcements about Icarus Witch to be revealed over the next few weeks.

ICARUS WITCH TO OPEN FOR HEAVEN & HELL!


Icarus Witch is honored to announce that we've been chosen to open for Heaven & Hell in Cleveland, Ohio on Saturday, August 22 at the Nautica Pavilion! The official invitation came just yesterday from Niji Management who represents Heaven & Hell vocalist, Ronnie James Dio, and of course we gladly accepted. This concert has an extra level of meaning for us, as the first song Icarus Witch ever recorded was Black Sabbath's "Falling Off The Edge Of The World" for Evil Lives: A True Metal Tribute To Black Sabbath back in 2004. So in many ways, our young career began in the reflection of Dio, Iommi, Butler & Appice. We've had the fortune to meet & talk with the band members a few times over the past couple years and now, to warm up their crowd in the hometown of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame is a dream come true.


We'll post more details as we get them, but as of now, we know that we'll be going onstage around 7PM and playing just prior to Coheed And Cambria. We look forward to seeing all of our Midwest metal head friends out for this amazing show. Tickets can be purchased here.

QUINN'S FINAL SHOW WITH ICARUS WITCH
Thursday, September 17, Icarus Witch will be performing our only hometown concert of the year, and it's an all ages one to boot! We are playing a one-off night on the NORTH AMERICAN NIGHTMARE TOUR featuring our Canadian brethren, CAULDRON, An amazing new traditional metal band from Sweden called ENFORCER and Pittsburgh's own classic thrash masters, MANTIC RITUAL! Unfortunately, we had to turn down a few other dates on that tour due to recording & scheduling conflicts, but something tells me the Wicked Dreams version of this show at Club DV8 is going to be one of the best ever.


This phenomenal concert is bittersweet in that will also mark the last show with our guitarist Quinn Lukas. When Quinn joined the band in 2006, he put his Mortuary Science schooling on hold. Since that time, we've played with Heaven & Hell, Candlemass, 3 Inches Of Blood, Kamelot, Doro and many more. Toured with Trouble...trekked around the North East, the South, the Midwest. Played Germany with Metal Church & partied in Los Angeles with, well...everyone else! He provided half the guitar for the Songs For The Lost album (with the other 1/2 laid down by former Witch shredder, Steve Pollick). Now, Quinn's going back to school to become a funeral director and Icarus Witch will enter the next chapter in our twisted tale as we prepare to release our 4th CD in time for a full U.S. tour this winter.


So, mark September 17 on your calendars now (NO EXCUSES) and get to Club DV8 early, as the Witch will hit the stage at 7PM for this rare evening of top shelf, international all-ages old school metal!
