Witchcraft in The Air

Not just another early Detroit Soul compilation. This is the cream of that transitional, pre-Hitsville era, when Detroit's labels, artists and producers were putting out popular, black dance music that they hoped might get noticed and sell enough to make them rich and famous. This is a CD to play over and over from start to finish. Every track a gem - no duds guaranteed!

Detroit soul and R&B nuggets from The Temptations, The Miracles, Jackie Wilson, The Isley Brothers, The Contours, Marv Johnson and more.

Witchcraft has announced they will be releasing a new album, Black Metal on May 1, 2020. The band is currently made up of Magnus Pelander on vocals and guitar, Rage Widerberg on drums and Tobias Anger on bass. They released a self-titled debut album In 2004. Black Metal is the band’s first new album in four years and is entirely acoustic. The album is described as having the minimalism of Bill Callaghan, the tenderness of Elliot Smith and the air of slight discomfort that could only be Witchcraft. All of this combine to make this record a truly unique spectacle, not only in the band’s catalogue, but in the world of guitar music as it stands in 2020.

The folks at Rockbeat Records have gone deep, culling together nearly 100 ultra-rare, delightfully campy Halloween nuggets from the '60s on this well-curated three-disc set. Don't murder your next party with another tired spin of "The Monster Mash." Even the weakest of these tracks provides a greater thrill than that tired old platter. Weird it up with bands like M.R. Baseman & the Symbols, the Twelfth Night, Kenny & the Fiends, the Grim Reapers, and dozens more from the '60s garage heyday. Strewn between tracks are trailers and excerpts from various B movies and horror shows. As a Halloween set, this is priceless, and fans of '60s rock rarities will also want to take note.
