Blackened heavy metal band Faethom from Fort Lauderdale, FL released the cover artwork for their upcoming album Fury Of The Scorned Witch. This will be the band's 2nd full-length album and will feature 18 hellish tracks. This record will be a horror concept album about a fictional Bolivian mining town where the miners toil and suffer relentlessly under the watchful eye of "El Tio" (the demonic entity that guards the mines). With an infernal cast of characters - a scorned, vengeful cholita, a violent, murderous miner, a powerful, diabolical witch, a pious, holier-than-thou gossip, and a sinful, cowardly priest - the album promises to be a hellish metal tale of terror.
