Witchcraft

REPRESS of the highly acclaimed album in brand new coloured vinyls.

After the mind blowing success of the Witchcraft’s album Legend, 2012, mastermind Magnus Pelander out did himself with “Nucleus”. Combining what made its predecessor the modern classic it quickly became with elements of the band’s earlier days, “Nucleus” is a melancholic, raging, fragile, melodic and at times noisy masterpiece between classic rock, doom and ambient music.

With an all new line-up (Rage Widerberg on drums and Tobias Anger on bass) the band sounds more hungry and powerful than ever. In combination with the thrilling, yet very down-to-earth production by Pelander, Philip Gabriel Saxin and Anton Sundell, “Nucleus” throws you in dreamy sonic landscapes that will mesmerize and haunt you alike.

REPRESS of the legendary debut EP in brand new coloured vinyls.

The great thing about this EP is that it takes all these 70s influences and makes, dare I say it, something just as amazing, if not even better! I only have one real complaint: It's too short. Four songs, just over 15 minutes. Is it worth it? Fuck, yes! (Doom-metal.com)

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.
