Sweden's Witchcraft were one of the first bands who started to recreate the sound of old heroes like PENTAGRAM around 2000 and who only had one goal in mind: to revive the '70s sound with landmark releases such as Firewood. They returned with Legend in 2012 and proved their status as leaders of a whole subgenre once more!
Orchid from San Francisco are more of a recent phenomenon: the four-piece made quite a bunch of heads turn with their debut EP Through The Devil's Doorway in 2009 before they firmly established themselves with their album Capricorn in 2011. Their second full-length release will be upon us soon.
