Witchcraft have a new album out. Well, I'm not sure if it is out yet but just read a review on it. I cannot fucking wait to find it and get it in my hands. Has anyone heard it yet?

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.

I heard they were gonna be more proggy on this new album as well.
Carbonized said:I've only heard the song i posted and it sounds really good. If you haven't done so already you should d/l it and take a listen I wouldn't say proggy (don't like the word to be honest), but there's a little more going on than what was on the debut.
Doomcifer said:Ya, I don't like the word either, but for lack of better terms for people to relate, I am empty handed. I've hard a couple other songs and they are really REALLY fucking good.
The voice effects arent really there much on this one either, from what I have heard. I'm sure JK will be pleased.
Demonspell said:I downloaded the track, and it couldn't be any more in opposition to prog if it tried, I had a similar reaction that Jay did when he questioned their reason to exist. This isn't entirely a putdown, fans of vintage hard rock will love it.
