Witch Club Satan

Witch Club Satan describe themselves as a feminist black metal band – something that may raise the hackles of black metal purists, but will likely delight many of those who seek fresh blood in this male dominated genre. The Norwegian trio are heavy on theatrics and don’t shy away from provocation. We’re delighted to welcome them to Roadburn 2025 – join us and raise a blood soaked fist as a sign of our enthusiastic welcome. 

The three members of the band – Johanna, Victoria and Nikoline – were drawn to black metal as a means to explore and express their female rage. They identified their outlet before even knowing how to play their instruments, but soon set about tooling themselves sufficiently for the job in hand. Whilst theatrics and their distinctive aesthetic is a key part of Witch Club Satan, the band are at pains to emphasise that this is not an act; this is a very real, very important expression of art for them.

Of their upcoming Roadburn performance, they told us: “Roadburn is one of those legendary festivals we have just heard stories about. We will prepare, and make sure there will be stories told about our ritual at the festival too.”

Whilst holding their cherished musical inspirations close they have also sought to rip up the rule book of black metal. Determined to forge a path that is inclusive, open, honest and yes, feminine, Witch Club Satan are a force to be reckoned with.
