Witchcraft: Attention!


In the mood for some retro doom rock from Sweden? Well I am too, so I have no choice but to play a little Witchcraft. Here's ATTENTION!, very smoke-filled, off-kilter, and trippy. It's from their second album FIREWOOD.

WITCHCRAFT






Witchcraft are a great retro doom metal band I discovered about a year ago. Their influences range from the psychedelic doom metal of Black Sabbath & Pentagram to the heavy psych of Blue Cheer to the melody of Cream and the vocal power of The Doors. The vocals are very melodic, with touches of Glen Danzig, Ozzy, and Jim Morrison. The musicianship is top notch, blending old retro influences to make something that sounds completely new. They have 3 albums out so far: "Witchcraft"(2004), "Firewood"(2005), and "The Alchemist"(2007). All three are great, with "Firewood" probably being the weakest of the three. I highly recommend these guys.
Here's the video to "Chylde of Fire", from the "Firewood" album:




And here's a live performance of "Hey Doctor", from "The Alchemist":
