Witchcraft In Studio Recording Third Album & forthcoming live dates
·
Yes, the guys are finally back in the studio, following their very successful string of dates in the US.
No definite clues as yet to the direction, though we are reckoning that the album will bridge the gap between the garagey Doom sound of the first album , combined with the improved songwriting skills witnessed on the recent 45, ‘If Crimson Was Your Colour’.
Enigmatic frontman Magnus Pelander has also hinted at some more progressive leanings on some of the tracks,but has refused to elaborate further.
