OF WITCHES have released their first single, “Children of the Seas”, with a music video, as the recently formed Madrid band prepares its debut album for early 2027. The song is available on major streaming platforms, while the album is planned for the beginning of next year.
The band describes its approach as gloom party metal, drawing on alternative rock, punk and doom alongside other influences. Its lyrics use symbolism and social criticism, with “Children of the Seas” focusing on imagined figures whose freedom and beliefs are threatened before they rise to reclaim what was taken from them. The band also states that no AI was used in making the song or video.
Filmed at Rubihaus in August
The video was filmed at Rubihaus in August 2026 and recorded and edited by Dario Paso-Jardiel, with Daniel Sanchez Pasi as assistant director. OF WITCHES produced the song themselves. Martillo Percutor recorded, mixed and mastered it at LaPozall Studios in Madrid.

Patty S. is the vocalist and guitarist in OF WITCHES. She performs alongside guitarist Mario González, drummer Jose M. and bassist Jose Plaza. The band says its members have backgrounds in groups including Aathma, Inordem, Dieaway, Blue Eagle, King Deer, Svmmvth, Inner Void and Only Once.
The current line-up is OF WITCHES with Patty S. on vocals and guitar, Jose M. on drums, Mario González on guitar and Jose Plaza on bass. The band has presented “Children of the Seas” as the first preview of its forthcoming debut album, due in early 2027.
