Witchcraft - Self Titled [2004]



A Swedish retro-doom-psych-folk bandstarted in 2000 by vocalist/guitarist Magnus Pelander, John Hoyles (guitar) and brothers Ola (bass) and Jens Henriksson (drums). Their debut album, Witchcraft, recorded in a basement studio outfitted exclusively with vintage equipment. The album captured a hauntingly authentic 1970s sound — steeped not only in the heavy-handed work of Black Sabbath and Pentagram, but also in the psych and folk-rock elements of obscure acts like Leaf Hound, Captain Beyond, and Comus. And yet, ironically, none of the members of Witchcraft were even born before 1977, making their loving reconstruction of that decade's music — underground music at that — all the more remarkable.

1. "Witchcraft" – 6:00
