Witchcraft - Nucleus. New album coming January 15th.

El Bump-O!

So Witchcraft is back with a new album, but only kinda.

Lead singer and band leader Magnus Pelander has released what is essentially a solo album under the Witchcraft moniker. It's just him on acoustic guitar with some occasional piano and maybe some background vocals. Witchcraft the band as we knew it is done for now. Anyhow, the new album is called Black Metal (don't expect to hear any blackened metal though) and here's the first single...



It's an interesting listen to my ears, but an albums worth of this might be a tad much to take. I think I prefer a band effort.

Can't listen to it now since the wife is still sleeping, but I hope it's better than his solo album. It was mostly acoustic, had some decent songs, but overall kinda boring.

I wasn't aware he put out solo material. Odd that he would put out this new album under the Witchcraft name when it's essentially another solo album. Just him and acoustic geetar.

I checked out a little bit of this new album on Spotify and I'm kinda digging it. I'd still prefer to hear a full electric band effort, but in the right frame of mind, this new album might be pretty cool. I'd pick it up if the price was right.

He probably put it out under the Witchcraft name, because it would sell more records that way. His solo stuff is okay, I'll post a couple songs I found on YouTube.

I'm kinda digging that solo stuff. I'll put it in the "maybe" category for now.
