Split, Croatia, Yugoslavia 1988. Dejan Katalenic ignites the Thrash Metal band Witchcraft. They quickly finish ten songs and record them, releasing seven of them early 1989 as a demo in ten copies.Nine of these tapes were according to legend send to western labels. The market for the music itself was there, but no Yugoslav record companies were allowed to release music with these kinds of lyrics at the time. One tape ended up in King Diamond’s possession providing influence for his 1990´s album The Eye. Another copy ended up influencing Sepulturas intro for their 1989 album classic Beneath the Remains. Not a bad result for 10 copies of Croatian Speed Metal. Unfortunately the band never heard back from any of the recipients of the demos. Fast forward a couple of years, the iron curtain drops and Withcraft lives on in various line ups over the years, but always led by Dejan Katalenic.Finally available in a well deserved proper format after 36 years.

Included in this new release are the three extra tracks recorded in the same session. So it’s kind of old, but at the same time brand new.

"HEIMLAND has been presenting timeless pagan black metal since their start in 2016. Heimland means homeland or motherland in Norwegian. The band takes inspiration from the orginal second wave of True Norwegian Black Metal. Think about early Ulver, Enslaved, Gorgoroth, etc etc. Think about the sun´s last burning rays before it goes to sleep or shine upon another land. This is where you´ll find Heimland´s homeland in music.

This autumn they follow up the highly rated “Forfedrenes Taarer”, with the much anticipated “Der Torv Moeter Hav”. Still embracing the past, broken dreams, nature, worn swords and endless landscapes, they stand like a pillar against the future. Embracing the darkness of the past and blackening the promise of a new tomorrow. Heimland is a band who is not afraid of the past, are proud of their heritage but still always looking outwards."
