Burning Witches is shopping for a new vocalist. The international power metal outfit announced Friday (Oct. 23) that singer Laura Guldemond has left after seven years. Jennifer Gruber of Fireborn will cover vocals on the road for now, and no permanent replacement has been named.

In a statement posted to social media, the band said it tried to find a way forward with Guldemond but ended up accepting her choice. The group thanked her for the shows, albums and memories, then made clear the machine keeps moving, with all announced dates staying on the calendar and Gruber taking the mic for the year-end run. Auditions for a full-time frontwoman are already underway.

The statement also stressed that “all announced shows will go ahead as planned.”

Guldemond posted her own message, saying she is proud of the four albums she made with the band and has no hard feelings. She told fans she stepped aside because “sometimes it’s simply time for a change when visions no longer fully align.” Her focus now shifts to her own music.

Burning Witches returns to the stage Nov. 7 at the Metal At Lust festival in Malta.

Guldemond, formerly of Dutch symphonic act Shadowrise, took over lead vocals in June 2019 after Seraina Telliexited that same month. Her live debut came at Sweden Rock Festival in Sölvesborg, Sweden, that June.

The band’s most recent release is its sixth album, Inquisition, which arrived in August 2025 through Napalm Records. Damir Eskic of Destruction and V.O. Pulver (Pro-Pain, Destruction) produced it, and founding guitarist Romana Kalkuhl shaped the songwriting.
