Witchcraft are a Swedish doom metal band founded in 2000.
Magnus Pelander (formerly of Norrsken) formed Witchcraft in 2000 in order to record a tribute to Pentagram’s Bobby Liebling and Roky Erickson. The „No Angel or Demon“ single was released in 2002 by Primitive Art Records which caught the ear of Lee Dorrian’s label Rise Above Records, who quickly signed them.
A year later, the band were brought back together with Jonas Arnesén taking the place of original drummer Jens Henriksson. Their debut album, Witchcraft, was worked on in a basement studio with vintage equipment, which gave them their very seventies-esque sound. 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. That same year the band toured the U.K. in support of Corrosion of Conformity, backed by the „Chylde of Fire“ single. In mid-2006, Jones Arnesén left the band and was replaced by original drummer, Jens Henriksson.
The band toured the US in latter part of 2006 with Danava. During this tour, on November 11, 2006, Witchcraft performed at the Rock and Roll Hotel in Washington, DC. For their encore they played two 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.

The first time I heard this band I truly thought they were some underground band from the early 70's and they were founded in the 2000's! These kind of bands gives me all hope and faith in music of today, they look a little like Toad. Fucking excellent band.
