Norwegian witches cloaked in corpse paint and dispelling primitive black metal are laying waste to North American audiences for the first time in history, as occult-obsessed feminist trio Witch Club Satan<\/a> makes its inaugural trek across this part of the world. And many are already succumbing to their sonic spells.<\/p>\n \u201cOur first impression is that the U.S. crowd is really present and vibrant and loud, less shy,\u201d says guitarist-vocalist Nikoline Spjelkavik.<\/p>\n \u201cSeveral people came to us after the shows and said this is cathartic for them. I think it was good timing, even though people say it\u2019s strange times to come visit,\u201d says drummer-vocalist Johanna Holt Kleive. \u201cFor us, it feels like the right time, and our energy really captivated the audience because of the circumstances surrounding it.<\/p>\n \u201cThey make a lot of mosh pits, too,\u201d she continues. \u201cSometimes, because our show is so visual, high-speed metal and loud, people are very attentive because it feels like they don\u2019t want to miss out on what\u2019s happening on stage. Everyone\u2019s been dancing with us so far.\u201d<\/p>\n
