Warthur
Steeped sufficiently in Black Sabbath worship to be a natural fit into the Rise Above stable, Witchcraft nonetheless don't offer doom metal as such on this debut album of theirs. Rather, the album resembles occult-tinged hard rock with bluesy influences - the sort of material that the band might have turned out had Tony Iommi taken up the offer to leave to join Jethro Tull and the remaining members ended up fusing with early Wishbone Ash. Perhaps, had Pentagram had the chance to record some of their earliest material professionally back in the early 1970s, they might have produced something somewhat similar to this. Don't expect stoner doom of the crushing heaviness of Electric Wizard, but if you come here expecting psych-tinged hard rock verging on heavy psych, you're in the right ballpark.
