Witchcraft: Hey Doctor

Most excellent Swedish retro doom rock. HEY DOCTOR from THE ALCHEMIST. Love it. Does anybody out there know if Witchcraft is still together? I hear alot about new solo efforts and side projects from members of the band but nothing about them collaborating on a new album. It would be a shame if the band split at this stage...

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":
