Witch Ripper have announced their first North American headlining run. Dubbed, Through the Hourglass, the summer trek kicks off with a warm-up show on April 3rd in Seattle, WA, before officially kicking off in May and June. The run will celebrate the band’s forthcoming record, Through The Hourglass, out April 10, 2026, via Magnetic Eye Records. The band has recently unveiled the single, “The Clock Queen.”
On the tour, frontman Curtis Parker expressed:
“How to sum up Witch Ripper on tour? Big energy, big riffs, and four guys who could not be happier playing music. We can hardly wait to hit the road this spring! Nothing feels better than a long string of shows while the band is firing on all cylinders. Come hang out and see this traveling nerd circus in all its glory. We promise all the cosmic time traveling songs you can handle! Hugs free of charge!”
On the latest single, the band commented:
“‘The Clock Queen’ is the best representation of Witch Ripper in its purest form: Heavy. Melodic. Progressive”, Curtis Parker wrote. “In our story, it represents the big reveal of who our antagonist meets in this world they’ve found themselves in. Throughout the album, we peppered in what we call “the clock queen’s theme,” a melody that sneaks its way into almost every song at some point. This song is the culmination of that tension and it’s when we finally meet the driving force of the album: The Clock Queen herself.”
