"The band was originally started as a tribute to Pentagram, and they certainly wear their influence on their sleeve. Vocalist Magnus Pelander sounds almost like a dead ringer for the mighty Bobby Liebling, and the band still displays a flawless mix of doom and old school psychedelia. But the first thing you’ll notice upon pressing play on Legend is that it’s way heavier than anything they’ve ever done before. The classic cuts from their old LPs certainly rocked with a uniquely tube-driven sound, but Legend just has this incredible punch to it in the production that really brings out the heaviness inherent in every riff. From the kickstart of “Deconstruction” through the drum-driven shuffle of “Flag of Fate,” and all the way to the deceptively docile waltz of “Democracy” and the mammoth closer “Dead End,” the riffage just doesn’t let up. Pelander croons over the instrumentation with a passionate bluesy wail, bringing doom metal back to its roots in psychedelic blues rock."
"The band’s new lineup has also done wonders on this record, with each member both existing in a synergistic relationship while also displaying plenty of unique flairs of their own – I’m particularly enamored with bassist Ola Henriksson, who locks down a solid low-end groove while still taking plenty of opportunity to bring us those sweet, sweet pentatonic fills. Even though he and Pelander are the only original members remaining, the new Witchcraft sounds like they’ve been playing together ever since the beginning – the dueling guitars of Simon Solomon and Tom Jondelius are practically flawless, and the drumming courtesy of Oscar Johansson leaves nothing to be desired. The recording and musicianship are tight, polished, catchy, and insanely fun to groove the hell out to."
"In a world crowded with bands like Graveyard, The Devil’s Blood, and Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, it’s good to see that there’s still room for Witchcraft at the top of the pile where they belong, even if it took them a good five years to get back there. But once you start up Legend, you’ll know it was worth the wait."

Witchcraft Firewood (2006) (CD)
Label: Candlelight Origin: USA
Firewood carries on the slavish devotion to ‘70s doom rock that Witchcraft established with their self titled debut. And by “’70s doom rock” I mean Pentagram. Basically, Witchcraft are to Pentagram as Rhino Bucket are to AC/DC. The song remains the same and the song remains good. The songs have their own simple, faithful-to-the-influences charm that’s hard to ignore. The production is more professional sounding than on their self titled album, but it’s still p...

Witchcraft Self Titled (Re-issue) (CD)
Label: Metal Blade Origin: USA
Witchcraft is a record which conjures up the macabre essence of vintage Pentagram and of course Black Sabbath whilst incorporating influences as wide apart as the Jethro Tullesque prog of “Her Sisters They Were Weak” and the bludgeoning riffing style of early 70’s Bang in “I Want You to Know”. Elsewhere, “Schyssta Lögner” evokes memories of Sweden’s original hard rocking progsters Novembre and the inclusion of the cover “Please Don’t Forget Me” from Bobby Leibling’s...

Witchcraft Self Titled (with Bonus 7 inch) (Purple) (Vinyl LP) (Import)
Label: Rise Above Origin: UK
Deluxe re-issue. Limited edition of only 400 copies in silver colored vinyl. Includes the translucent purple colored bonus 7 inch, "Yes I Do". LIMIT 1 PER CUSTOMER! The songs tend to remind me more of the medieval sounds that Pentagram and Jethro Tull put across, lots of warmly overdriven guitars and soul and little acoustic guitar interludes. Make no mistake though, Witchcraft know how to kick out the heavy jams, too. Vocals throughout this CD are almost more Bobby L...

Witchcraft The Alchemist (2007) (CD)
Label: Candlelight Origin: USA
The Alchemist is definitely the band's strongest effort. The band's no longer so reliant on Bobby Liebling for inspiration that you feel the need to check the songwriting credits. Sure, I doubt the band will ever be able to fully shake the influence of their elders, but they compensate with superior songs that don't fit neatly in the "stoner" or "doom" categories. There's a grace and fluidity, and the band often plays with an almost progressive melody. There's ...
