Icarus Witch is a Heavy Metal Band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, assembled in 2004.
When Icarus Witch released the Roses On White Lace EP in 2005, the metal underground salivated. Later that year, the Pittsburgh based band followed up with the full length Capture The Magic album, featuring guests George Lynch of platinum '80s rockers Dokken as well as Frank Aresti of prog metal gods, Fates Warning.
The press' hunger grew as the boys were regularly featured in major mags like Metal Maniacs, BW&BK, Outburn, Hit Parader, Pit, Explicitly Intense, Unrestrained & Classic Rock, to name just a few. A video for the title track starring Jasmine St. Claire began circulating on TV, online & in major DVD compilations with luminaries from Dio, Maiden, Queensryche, Priest, UFO, The Cult & Children Of Bodom.
Meanwhile, the young group hit the road playing shows with everyone from 3 Inches Of Blood to Yngwie Malmsteen along the way. But it was the 2006 German festival season that opened their eyes to a growing international fan base when they were featured alongside Metal Church at H:O:A. Icarus Witch was becoming a global sensation!
2006 was a banner year for the Witch. They shared the stage with heroes like Yngwie Malmsteen in their hometown & Metal Church in Germany! They played with fellow revivalists like 3 Inches of Blood & Early Man in New York then found their selves headlining other cities on the road for the first time.
