WITCHCRAFT To Release New Album In July

May 24, 2005

Candlelight Records with Rise Above Records are gearing up for a hot summer with the release of the new album from WITCHCRAFT. Titled "Firewood", the album will hit stores nationwide on July 26. The band is expected to premiere material from the album at this weekend's Emissions of the Monolith festival, where the band will make a one-off, headline performance on Saturday, May 28 at the seventh annual doom festival.

Working again with Jens Henriksson (producer),"Firewood" was recorded in England and enjoys a brighter and fuller sound than its predecessor. Whilst their self-titled album made a sizeable dent in the minds of the doom cult fanatics, this new slab will go a long way to establishing them beyond the narrow parameters of the underground to fertile pastures anew. Recent converts will be floored by their masterful grip of classic rock dynamics and their faithful followers, who have been awaiting patiently for their return, will find a natural successor to their incredibly striking debut.

Emissions from the Monolith features the best in underground hard rock, stoner, doom, and metal. Tickets for this year's four-day festival are already sold out; the weekend's additional performances coming from the reformed EYEHATEGOD, TODAY IS THE DAY, RAGING SLAB, ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY, PIG DESTROYER, KEELHAUL, SONS OF OTIS, YOB, STINKING LIZAVETA, LAIR OF THE MINATOUR, DIXIE WITCH and more.
