"Retro-doom...highly underrated"--POPMATTERS
"Ridiculously catchy superrock...’70s-style riff-o-rama...the Swedish second coming of Pentagram and Ozzy"--DECIBEL
Swedish hard rock band WITCHCRAFT comes to One Eyed Jacks on Halloween in support of their new album, The Alchemist. It’s already being hailed as “timeless” and “a masterpiece” that “Metalheads, indie fans, and music teachers alike could unite around.”
WITCHCRAFT, recently cited by Down front man Philip Anslemo and guitarist Pepper Keenan as the inspiration for that group reuniting to record their latest opus, is a hallowed name in underground rock circles. Flying largely under the radar of the popular music landscape previously, the band is now poised on the brink of breakthrough success worldwide.
Also on the bill is Oakland metal band Saviours. Here’s what the press is saying:
"Sabbath-era doominess, NWOBHM/punk rawness, and Maiden-esque, elegant, harmonized lead guitar lines" - THE BIG TAKEOVER
"If Mastodon were on their way out, Saviours would be their heir apparent. With a triple guitar attack and classical metal sensibilities, this Oakland-based group won a lot of people over this year, playing dates with such high-profile names as High on Fire, The Sword, and Pelican. Down and dirty just the way you love it"-- ZERO Mag
Known for their refreshing take on the classic metal of decades past, SAVIOURS are rapidly becoming frontrunners in today’s thriving heavy metal underworld. Spewing blasphemous lyrical hellfire over an endless arsenal of harmonized leads, locomotive rhythms and riff heavy, locking guitars and bass, SAVIOURS spit poignant venom that swings and thrashes somewhere between Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, ‘Kill ‘Em All’ –era Metallica and Thin Lizzy.
