Stormwitch are a German heavy metal band from Heidenheim, founded in 1981 by guitarist Harald Spengler (Lee Tarot) and vocalist Andy Mück (Andy Aldrian). Dubbed 'Masters of Black Romantic' by their fanbase, they built their reputation on a distinctive mix of melodic metal, gothic imagery and fantasy-driven lyrics, placing them alongside contemporaries like Helloween in the 1980s German metal scene. After seven albums and a split in 1994, they reunited in 2002 and have remained active since, with Mück as the constant core.
Stormwitch performed live in Göteborg, Sweden, on November 29, 2025 at the venue Monument 031.
The band performed on September 20, 2025 in Staig, Germany, with a setlist that included classics such as 'Walpurgis Night' and 'Stronger Than Heaven'.
Drummer Pete Lancer, one of the band's original members, rejoined Stormwitch in 2024.
The band released the digital singles 'Odin's Ravens' and 'Songs of Steel' via Massacre Records.
Founding guitarist Harald Spengler (Lee Tarot) died of a stroke at age 50; the band held a tribute concert in Giengen, Germany, in his honor.
