Witchcraft-Nucleus
Genre: Stoner Rock, Doom Metal, Psychedelic Rock
FFO: Black Sabbath, Graveyard, Pentagram

This crushing new release from Sweden’s Witchcraft boldly explores a broad spectrum of both musical style and nostalgia. With Doom Metal and Stoner Metal as the sound’s nucleus, the band pulls ‘60s era psychedelia, ‘70s hard rock, and ‘90s grunge in unlikely yet well-executed harmony.  While a few of the album’s tracks tend to drone on and venture towards the fifteen minute mark with little build-up, Nucleus is a solid LP that rocks hard from start to finish.
