Witchcraft - Elegantly Expressed Depression

Magnus Pelander’s WITCHCRAFT have existed at the forefront of occult tinged classic rock ever since their formation in the year 2000, when Magnus decided to form the band so that he could record a tribute to his idols Roky Erickson and PENTAGRAMs Bobby Liebling. The track in question "No Angel Or Demon" was released in 2002 and was the spark that ignited WITCHCRAFTs now illustrious career from their self-titled debut in 2004 through to the wondrous "Nucleus" in 2016.

The band’s first new album in four years, titled "Black Metal", is an entirely acoustic affair. Listen to a first tune below, taken from "Black Metal", the haunting "Elegantly Expressed Depression".

The album will be released on Vinyl, CD and in Digital formats on May 1st 2020 via Nuclear Blast.

WITCHCRAFT has also announced to play a few selected shows this year, such as at Desertfest Berlin and London.

From the press release:

Now, Magnus takes WITCHCRAFT in a brave new direction, setting forth into entirely new territory. Exhibiting the pure emotion that has always lived at the core of the band’s work, by moving forward alone. The band’s first new album in four years, "Black Metal", is an entirely acoustic release. From the opener, and first single, "Elegantly Expressed Depression", it’s clear that this new facet of the band’s sound allows the rawness and fragility to shine in an entirely new light.

The minimalism of Bill Callaghan, the tenderness of Elliot Smithand the air of slight discomfort that could only be WITCHCRAFT combine to make this record a truly unique spectacle, not only in the band’s catalogue, but in the world of guitar music as it stands in 2020.

Today's tune "Elegantly Expressed Depression" taken from the upcoming album "Black Metal", enjoy!

Troubled Horse - Revolution on Repeat

Monday, even if it’s Sunday here in Sweden it’s still a new week, so let’s introduce ”Record Of The Week"

"Revolution on Repeat” is the latest release from the Swedish garage rockers TROUBLED HORSE. The album was released Mars 31.

Formed in 2003 in their hometown of Örebro (also home to WITCHCRAFT), the Horse crew erupted into the consciousness of riff-worshippers everywhere with a low-key seven-inch vinyl release in 2010, and then their debut album "Step Inside", which was released by Rise Above Records in 2012. An invigorating whirlwind of spiky garage rock, propulsive psychedelia and thunderous, overdriven soul-meets-doom riffing, Step Inside showcased a band with little interest in current or nostalgic trends, instead revelling in a consciously classic but undeniably fresh new take on the most revered and ageless of musical components.

"Revolution on Repeat” is taken the next step forward since their debut album "Step Inside”. The album is righteous mix of the old school rock where the base is garage rock. It’s hard and bluesy rock that is spiced up with psychedelia and some pun. Even if the band bread the same air as WITCHCRAFT, GRAVEYARD and other classic 70’s retro band they stand out from the crowd, as I could say that they sound more as THE HELLACOPTERS with a 70’s approach. First thing that hits me after a few spins that these guys really enjoy what they are doing and they puts in everything that they got in this project. It’s a very fun, soulful album. With a a clean and crisp production you will get some nice listening hours.

The musicians are doing amazing work on "Revolution on Repeat”, album fires off with a real smoker ”Hurricane”, a galloping garage rocker then saddle to an old funky country riffages in "The Filthy Ones” with a vocal performance that will give you goose bumps, he screams, shouts and signs likes his intestines leaves the body. ”Which Way to the Mob” is a melodic rocker where Martin Heppich almost sounds like Nicke Andersson. ”Peasants” is a pulsations bluesy tune with a punk attitude to "The Haunted” where the doomish sound appears, in the middle of the tune they let loose of some marching drums and heavy riffing. ”Desperation” is a half pace swampy country/garage rocker with 60’s approach. "Track 7” stands out a bit, heavy riffing, punkish, bluesy and doomish to the great swampy desert country version of WARREN ZEVONs "My Shit’s Fucked Up”. ”Let Bastards Know” is a classic Swedish garage rocker. The album closes with the half pace start in ”Bleeding” to sparkle out to something furious until it falls back a bit to take some air until it fires off again, the tune fades out in the end right in the middle of the beauty part, wtf!

Sum: "Revolution on Repeat” is a really fun record that you should own!

Today’s tune ”Hurricane” is the first single taken from "Revolution on Repeat”, Video directed by Olle Forestam Wijkander. Enjoy!

Witchcraft - Nucleus

New week and it's time to present "Record Of The Week"

"Nucleus" is the fifth studio album from the Swedish group WITCHCRAFT. To date, across five albums, Sweden’s WITCHCRAFT have never repeated themselves. As expected, a new path has been taken with "Nucleus". The album is done with an partly new line-up Rage Widerberg on drums and Tobias Anger on bass together with the mastermind Magnus Pelander.

The record is a real beast time wise, an hour and ten minutes worth of music divided into two LPs, (or one CD if you swing that way). Ten songs with a really wide range of styles and durations. Not quite as direct and clear as its predecessor "Legend", a record that was really solid from start to finish.

"Nucleus" is an album that has taken me many spins to sunk in, many twists and turns that I was not really comfortable at the first, it took me some time but now I do really like Pelanders creation, even if the direction is new does the foundation remain the same.  

That Pelander now have left his instrument on the stand and focused more on the vocals are clear and he makes it magnificent. With the new guys around that follows him to the grave does a great job to create a WITCHCRAFT atmosphere were the listener can dream away and loose the present time for a little bit over an hour. The musicianship between the guys are top notch, were the music builds up with a great feeling between each other. The riffs, flutes, rhythms are well planed and executed with great precision. In other word, it's a remarkably well-crafted album, with plenty of wonderful music to dig into once you get through the first spin.

The album opens up slow and easy, eight minutes magic of "Malstroem", piece by piece it build up to something enormous. It has all the ingredients that satisfy me as a listener. Acoustic guitars, spell bounded flutes, doomed electric guitars and pounding rhythms that kicks you off your beloved chair. This tune is one of the highlights on the album together with the single "The Outcast" that is a real killer, a tune that have the more straight forward heavy rock like the tunes of the predecessor "Legend". "To Transcend Bitterness" is a real heavy piece that suits any rocker. The title song "Nucleus" is a real dreamy thing that I just love. Just over 14 minutes and you are lost. The album closes with a more classic WITCHRAFT tune where the riffings and the flutes are the highlights in "Chasing Rainbows"

Anyway, I'm almost sure already that this record will be in the top when the year going to be summarised.

So my final word will be: BUY IT!

Today's tune "Theory Of Consequence," is taken from the fifth WITCHCRAFT album "Nucleus", enjoy!

Witchcraft - The Outcast

When Magnus Pelander founded WITCHCRAFT back in the year 2000, he just did so to record a track in tribute to his idols Roky Erickson and PENTAGRAMs Bobby Liebling. It took until 2002 when the band finally released that first single in dedication ‘No Angel Or Demon’ followed up by their debut album “Witchcraft” in 2004. Using vintage equipment and Pelander’s distinctive haunting vocals they’ve released three more albums “Firewood” (2005) “The Alchemist” (2007) and “Legend” in 2012 earning cult status due to their signature sound that is now known as Sweden’s finest psychedelic/classic rock band.

The mastermind Magnus Pelander is back and the new upcoming album "Nucleus" is set to be release in Jan 15th, 2016.

"Nucleus"  is done with an partly new line-up (Rage Widerberg on drums and Tobias Anger on bass). The production is made by Philip Gabriel Saxin and Anton Sundell.

Describing the process and the new guys surrounding him, Pelander, the free spirit he is, finds his very own words:

“Producer Philip Gabriel Saxin is a rare breed. He's living off of seaweed and pomegranate seeds and only listens to Doom-metal. He rarely sleeps and if he does he sleeps in a couch made of hemp. Co-mixer and producer Anton Sundell is the most evil person I know about.

Drummer Rage Widerberg is a descendant of a Swedish northern bear tribe and how he makes a living is impossible to tell. His speciality is changing flat tires.

Bass beast Tobias Anger doesn't want to be called by his real name so his family has invented a unique blow horn with which they awake him from his nightly dreams of paranoia and world domination.“

Listen to Nucleus and you’ll find out what he means.

The first single "The Outcast", is set to released on December 4, 2015 on 7” vinyl, including a NIRVANA cover, ‘Even In His Youth’, as the B-side.

This one should follow both the lineage of their raw debuts and the trend of their latest and more modern records.

(Watch while sober, please ;).

Today's tune "The Outcast" is the first Glimpse taken from the upcoming album "Nucleus", enjoy!

We Hunt Buffalo - Back To The River

Monday, new week, time to introduce the "Record Of The Week".

"Living Ghosts" is the second album from the Canadian trio WE HUNT BUFFALO consisting of Ryan Forsythe (Vocals/Guitar), Brendon Simpson (Bass/Vocals) and Brandon Carter (Drums/Vocals).

"Living Ghosts" reminds me of a fruit and not any common fruit as orange or banana, the fruit I have in mind is Chilli, to be more precise. It changes colour nicely during growth, first green, then orange and later take the most fenced blood-red hue. The album sprawls and changes directions during it's play time and touches many different genres, it's really hard to add "Living Ghosts" in a specific tray, almost as if they have to create a new one.

"Living Ghosts" is really fresh and becomes stronger the more you listen. It starts grand with the magnificent instrumental "Ragnarök" which then melts into "Back To The River", a well packed heavy riffery machine that will blow you away, reminds partly of MASTODON, then the record accelerate to a more punkish, slimy, dirty rock n’ roll with "Prairie Oyster". With the 4th track "Hold On" the album take it first turn to the left with a new direction, still heavy but with a more melodic progressive approach (hey FAIR TO MIDLAND), the album continues in this path with killer tune "Comatose". On the 6th track the band hits the break and slows down and gives us the beautiful "Fear". Then it makes another turn, this time to the right and let us flow away with the guitar driven melody of the tune "The Barrens" (The chorus sounds almost like WITCHCRAFT). I slobbers already like a dog and "Looking Glass" plays in my head and follows the previous tune in style. I giggling a bit inwardly and wondering how this will this end. "Walk Again" takes the album to another direction and I start to wonder, is this still the same band. The vocal part is filled with sorrow and regret, the music is more lay back and slowly grows until it fades out in to a psychedelic noise. The album closer "Transcandemic" is a nice well crafted piece that ends the album with a dignity.

If you are into bands like KYUSS, MASTODON, FAIR TO MIDLAND, WITCHCRAFT or Heavy rock, Grooves, Stoner, Desert rock then this is something for you. "Living Ghosts" is a amazing album with a lot of great passion, soul and drawn out grooves, a album that you should not miss!

Today's tune "Back To The River" is taken from "Record of The Week" "Living Ghosts"

Doctor Cyclops - Angel Saviour in the Cannibal House

Doctor Cyclops is a seventies-style power trio playing heavy rock music inspired by a vintage sound, eldest son of glorious Balck Sabbath and of other more underground heroes from the 70ies and early 80ies such as Truth and janey, Sir Lord Baltimore, Captain Beyond, Witchfinder General. Even later and more modern references are warm-vintage style ones: Witchcraft, Firebird, Cathedral, Spiritual Beggars just to say some.

The project was born in 2007 in Oltrepo in a small village called Bosmenso, in the middle of the Appennino mountains. A place where winters are long and quite often really cold. Former members are Christian Draghi (guitar and vocals) and Francesco Filippini (bass), childhood friends who try to push by with their passionated love for music and good riffs. Doctor Cyclops’ music is an obscure kind of heavy old style rock, its groove made by a miscellanous heap mix of influences, which go from the progressive to the doom stuff played with a raw and dusty wish.

Christian Draghi - Guitar and Vocals
Francesco Filippini - Bass
Alessandro Dallera - Drums

They record the first demo-ep in the spring of 2008, and call it “The flying machines burning”. It contains four songs, two original tracks (“Night Flyer” and “Eileen O’Flaherty” and two covers, “Born to die in Berlin” by Ramones and “Freelance Fiend” by Leaf Hound). Self producted and self recorded, this first homemade work raise the attention of a website specialized in stoner-rock music, Perkele.it, which publishes a really good review.

Exept for a restricted number of gigs in 2008, Doctor Cyclops’ live activity starts in the early 2009. In the may of the same year they share the stage with Bill Steer’s Firebird, for whom they open the act on the first show of their “Italian Tour of Fire”.

In the same period they record two more original songs, “My Revolution” and “Angel Saviour in the Cannibal House” and release them in a self producted single which raises the attention of an english site, thesleepingshaman.com, which publishes another great review exalting the band’s seventies groove. http://www.thesleepingshaman.com/reviews/album/doctorcyclops.php

In the summer of 2009 Doctor Cyclops hit the studio to record a tune for a film soundtrack. Their song “Silver Serpent” is included in the soundtrack of the italian edition of the film “Megiddo: The Omega Code” (in Italy “2012 L’avvento del male”) by 20th Century Fox, released in november. At the same time they keep on working together with bands from the italian and european underground scene such as Stake off the Witch, Matra, Phased, Black Cargo, Sidharta, with who they share a tour in northern Italy in 2009, and Last Barons (who they follow on their last italian tour dates).

In november 2010 the band gained his first abroad experience playing some shows in Germany in occasion of the releasing of his first self producted Ep. Simply called “The Doctor Cyclops”, the cd collects all the five original songs recorded by the band untill now plus a live bonus track. In April 2011 the band took his first european tour through France and Belgium, opening the act for canadians Blood Ceremony in Paris. In the summer they record their first full lenght which will be released in the early 2012 through the german label World in Sound. The ending of 2011 sees the band keeping his touring commitments, with gigs through Austria and in the UK.

Todays tune "Angel Saviour in the Cannibal House" is taken from the latest release "Oscuropasso" (2014, World in Sound).

Shot like a 70s horror film, the video is a great introduction to the atmosphere and grooves of the album. Enjoy!

Shortly after wrote Witchcraft contract with Rise Above Records.

Their debut album, Witchcraft (2004), was worked on in a basement studio with vintage equipment, which gave them their very seventies-esque sound. Mats left the band almost immediately after the recording was done. Mats was also the drummer in the surf trio "The Hollywoods" and 50's rockin "Eva Eastwood and the Major Keys". In mid-2004, the band toured Europe with Orange Goblin and Grand Magus. The band recorded their second album, Firewood, in England, which was released on Rise Above in 2005.

During this tour, on November 11, 2006, Witchcraft performed at the Rock and Roll Hotel in Washington, DC. For their encore they played Pentagram covers ("When the Screams Come" and "Yes I Do") with Bobby Liebling on vocals.

Following their US tour they returned to the studio and recorded the single "If Crimson Was Your Colour". This was released on 7" vinyl by Rise Above on November 6, 2006. Following the single Jens Henriksson once again left Witchcraft and was replaced by Fredrik Jansson (formerly of Abramis Brama).

Their third album, The Alchemist, was released on October 8, 2007 by Rise Above Records (UK), Leaf Hound Records (Japan), and Candlelight Records (US). Shortly after The Alchemist, Witchcraft released a split 12" with The Sword on Kemado Records. The EP features versions of two previously banned in Sweden songs. The cult played the front stage on the one day Ozzfest 2009.

In 2010 Magnus Pelander released a four track solo EP via Svart Records and is currently working on the solo full length album.

The new album marked the recording debut of the band's new members, including Simon Solomon (guitar), Tom Jondelius (guitar), and Oscar Johansson (drums), with singer Magnus Pelander focusing only on vocals instead of both vocals and guitar.

The new album was released on double vinyl, with a special edition purple vinyl limited to 250 hand numbered copies

Legend is like a predator, full of pride, majestic, mysterious and cunning. That tells a thoughtful story without losing focus and fall outside. It is beautifully balanced and the dynamics and melodic to perfection, an album where all the cylinders fall into place.

Todays tune "Flag Of Fate" is taken from Witchcrafts fourth album "Legend". The album was released September 25th, 2012. Unable to find a proper video for the song so it had to be a little funny one, this is a guy who has recorded his own video with his Super 8 camera, stylish Vinyl!.
