There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Witchcraft are a doom metal band from Sweden. Strongly inspired by the early ’70s rock, they play with a heavy and slightly psychedelic rock style typical of other similar stoner doom metal bands. They are often compared to Black Sabbath (due to Sabbath’s massive influence on doom metal) or Jethro Tull, though they do have their own personal sound. They have released three well-received full length albums to date.
2) Witchcraft were a USA duo whose music was of a highly imaginative and original style that was years ahead of its time. John Buehler - vocals, keyboards, drum machines, percussion, vocoder & design. Andrew Arbetter - guitar. Although Witchcraft have sadly disbanded, these two albums remain perennial favorites and are testament to a genuinely original talent that produced a genuinely original sound
Albums:
(1)As I Hide:
Spacey atmospherics, driving rhythms and searing guitar are complemented by beautiful synth compositions, all held together by mysterious and innovative vocoder. Ambient electronica at its best.
“This is a truly inventive and potent album which constantly challenges the listener yet still maintains a cohesive focus. On this form Witchcraft are a real find.” Graham Getty, SMD.
(2)Scattered Areas of Invisibility:
The 2nd studio album from Witchcraft. Classic ambient rock with a more rhythmic edge, and much more guitar! Full of wonderful melodic textures, this will appeal to EM, Ambient and rock fans alike.

The first time I heard this band I truly thought they were some underground band from the early 70's and they were founded in the 2000's! These kind of bands gives me all hope and faith in music of today, they look a little like Toad. Fucking excellent band.
