Bewitched

Bewitched was another retro band, paying homage to a style of metal from yesteryear, in this case early to mid-eighties Euro speed metal, almost pre-thrash, at times harkening back to the glory days of the NWOBHM. But they pulled this off well, better than others that have tried this style, and thus they didn't sound as dated as one might think given their influences. The vocals were more modern, more or less black metal in style, and lyrically they seemed to be somewhat Satanic in nature, at least if the song titles (several of which are pretty generic, one must admit) were to be taken seriously. Bewitched was basically a thrash-for-the-fun-of-it band, not out to change the face of metal, and taken as such they were good at what they did.
