Founded by singer and guitarist Magnus Pelander, Witchcraft is one of the most prominent bands in the Swedish hard rock scene since the turn of the millennium. Since their self-titled debut in 2004, the band has delivered a renowned blend of classic hard rock and doom metal, cementing their position as one of the genre's most distinctive acts.
With their unique expression, Witchcraft paved the way for a whole wave of 70s-influenced hard rock bands in Sweden in the 00s. The group from Örebro got their record deal after only recording the single “No Angel or Demon” in 2002. Two years later, their debut album “Witchcraft” followed, which was widely praised for its authentic old school sound. Since then, the band has released five more albums, most recently “Black Metal” from 2020. Over time, Witchcraft’s sound has developed in a more modern direction, but the roots in classic hard rock and doom are still clearly present.
Now the band returns with their seventh album, released in May, “Today” – a full-fledged manifestation of who Witchcraft is in 2025. Those who have longed for a revisit to the heavy and progressive rock landscape of the 70s will not be disappointed. Frontman Magnus Pelander describes the album as a work that “will harvest souls, destroy evil minds – and maybe heal some broken ones.”
The concert is arranged by Kulturbolaget and Mejeriet.
