2025 ✤ A YEAR IN REVIEW ➥ Rock and Metal albums releases [part 2]

[cd-sherri]

This week’s Females of Metal Friday is Larissa Ernst from Switzerland and former lead guitarist for the all-female band Burning Witches.

Larissa took over the lead guitarist role in the band in 2020 when Sonia Anubis left to found the band Crypta with Fernanda Lira and Luana Dametto. In 2023, she left the band to focus on family and the birth of her first child. In Oct of 2024, she posted that she was pregnant with her 2nd child.

With old school riffs and crunch with a mix of high pitch squeals and dives thrown in, Larissa’s style is impressive to watch and listen to.

I for one am looking forward to her returning to making awesome metal sometime in the (hopefully near) future!!

That’s it for this week, until next week…. Long Live Metal!! 🤘🤘🤘

The stake was both punishment and spectacle. It allowed the community to witness the annihilation of a woman who had become the focus of social tensions. A woman burning at the stake embodied not only the fear of witchcraft but also fantasies about sexuality and domination over body and mind. Fire and immobilization symbolized the oppression imposed by social norms, the dread of independent womanhood and the desire to control what was taboo.

In Lower Silesia, in the town of Kolsk, witch trials took place in which women were accused of sorcery and condemned to death by burning. The best-known victim of the persecutions of 1664 is Anna Villborn, an herbalist from the village of Jesiona, who was burned in the Municipal Grove at Lewin. Her trial was part of a wave of accusations across the region that is estimated to have claimed thirty-nine lives.
