𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐅𝐓 (𝐒𝐖𝐄)
Dopo oltre dieci anni di assenza dai palchi italiani, tornano i padri fondatori del culto 70s di autentica qualità.
Intercettati sin da subito dalla Rive Above di Lee Dorrian - che ha sempre avuto fiuto per le migliori stelle nascenti dei sottogeneri del doom - nel 2000 pubblicano l'album omonimo che si è imposto come vera e propria pietra miliare del retro rock.
In 25 anni di carriera, nella discografia dei Witchcraft sono confluiti fiumi di progressive, occult rock, heavy, folk, psichedelia fino a un doom più contemporaneo.
Passati sotto la Nuclear Blast con cui hanno pubblicato tre album (l'indimenticabile Legend del 2012, Nucleus del 2016 e il più malinconico Black Metal del 2020), dopo cinque anni di silenzio stampa approdano oggi sulle lande romane della Heavy Psych Sounds Records and Booking.
Il fondatore della band Magnus Pelander presenta così la nuova uscita:
"This album will reap souls and destroy wicked minds. And perhaps mend a couple of broken ones."
Poche parole enigmatiche da cui riecheggiano gli intenti dei primissimi Coven di 'Witchcraft Destroys Minds and Reaps Souls' (1969).
Così, Heavy Psych Sounds riporta in Italia insieme a Freakout Club e Hardstaff Booking una delle band più sconvolgenti e autentiche del retro rock per due date esclusive a Bologna e Milano.

Acid Mammoth is a doom metal band from Athens, Greece. The band was formed in 2015 by Chris Babalis Jr. (Vocals & Guitars) and Dimosthenis Varikos (Bass), good friends since high school, with a deep love for Sabbath and other heavy music. They were quickly joined by their very good friend Marios Louvaris (Drums) and Chris Babalis Sr. (Guitars), Jr.'s father. Acid Mammoth is more than just a band of friends. They are a family. In late 2016, the band recorded its self-titled, debut full-length album, which they self-released digitally in autumn of 2017. The album was well received, and it wasn’t long before the band was in the studio again to record its second full-length album “Under Acid Hoof”, this time darker, heavier and fuzzier.
In September 2019, the band signed with Heavy Psych Sounds Records, which welcomed the Greek Doomers to their roster after the first listening of the new album. “Under Acid Hoof” was released January 24th 2020 and was very well received by fans and critics alike. In September 2020 the band participated in a series of split releases by Heavy Psych Sounds Records called the “Doom Sessions”. “Doom Sessions Vol. 2” featured Acid Mammoth alongside the Sardinian Doomers 1782, in an ultra heavy release that featured three brand new tracks from each band.
In late 2020 the band entered the studio to record their third full-length album called “Caravan”, which was released March 2021 by Heavy Psych Sounds records, alongside the first ever physical press of the 2017 self-titled debut as well as two represses of “Under Acid Hoof”.
Following the release of 'Caravan', the band started touring and playing shows all around Europe, as the world returned to a new state of normalcy after the Covid-19 pandemic. The band did two European tours in 2022 and 2023, as well as lots of shows at festivals such as Desertfest London, Desertfest Antwerp, and SonicBlast Fest. In 2024 the band released their fourth full-length album ‘Supersonic Megafauna Collision’ and for the next two years toured Europe as well as Canada. in late 2025, Marios Louvaris (Drums) departed from the band.
