Witchcraft

I'm a bit UNSURE what forum I should start this debate/ask this question in, but I think I've chosen the right one.

Anyways..

I was surfing around the prog archives and searching for almost every prog rock or prog related band I know.
I searched for Witchcraft, but it seemed like they were not to find in the archive.

That's odd I thought to myself, if Black Sabbath is in here they should be too.

I would add them myself, if I knew how to do it. But I don't know...

So would anyone please tell me how? or add them for me?.

To those of you who doesn't know who Witchcraft are:
Witchraft is a Swedish Hard Rock/Stoner Metal band formed in Örebro in the year 2000.
Who by now has released a several albums...

And if you don't think they sound very prog related, then listen to this and think again:

I'm not requesting info about them, I've been a fan for a while. I just wondered why they were not on the website.
If you ask me I'd call Withcraft more prog related than Iron Maiden as an example.
With regard to genre I still see them as stoner metal because of the doom metal refferences in their music.

But I didn't say they were a prog band, but related. As far as I know prog rock is about mixng genres and instruments, not just changing rhythm and tempo?.
Besides I can clearly hear the inspiration from bands like Jethro Tull, Black Sabbath, Black Widow, Comus etc in Witchcrafts music... but it might just be me, who's foolish

And oh, I didn't realise that forum, I must have skipped it when I looked. Sorry my bad.

I think that the time is perfect for them now. Because if they keep playing I can go see them when I'm old as well. I saw them doing warm up for Motörhead and it was very very good.  But I see what you mean, they're awesome real 70´s!. They claim to be heavily inspired by the early doom metal band "Pentagram". I guess they are and of Black Sabbath as well and Tull...

Logan you might as well check out some of their newer stuff:


I haven't heard that version before now, on the ablums they just use an acoustic guitar for the verses. But here they play it on piano. There's a very notable flute on the album as I well I can't remember if they use it in that vid...


Listen to thay wonderful sax solo!

I say we should add them. I've known about them for awhile, and enjoy what I have heard.

Reminds me more of Uriah Heap without the hammond
