Witchcraft — Nucleus (January 15th, 2016) 
•¬• Swedish classic / doom rock veterans Witchcraft have announced the release date, track list and cover for their eagerly awaited new album.
•¬• The new LP is titled Nucleus and will be out worldwide on January 15th, 2016 release via Nuclear Blast. The record will be available as CD, lavish digipak (also as a t–shirt bundle), vinyl (black, clear, splatter, gold) and digital download.
•¬• Nucleus is said to be mixing the rawer side of Witchcraft‘s early roots with a slightly more melancholic modern sound. With an all new line–up (Rage Widerberg — drums & Tobias Anger — bass) the band sounds more hungry and powerful than ever before. In combination with the thrilling, yet very down–to–earth production by Pelander himself, Philip Gabriel Saxin and Anton Sundell it just throws you in dreamy sonic landscapes that will mesmerize and haunt you alike.

¬¬ 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.“
•¬• After the mind blowing success of the Witchcraft’s last 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.

•¬• 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 Pentagram’s 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.

Combining what made its predecessor the modern classic it quickly became as well as elements of the band’s earlier days makes Nucleus a melancholic, raging, fragile, melodic and at times noisy masterpiece between classic rock, doom and ambient music.
