Nucleus, the successor of 2012's Legend, is said to be mixing the rawer side of Witchcraft’s early roots with a slightly more melancholic modern sound.
With an all new lineup (Rage Widerberg on drums and Tobias Anger on bass) the band sounds more hungry and powerful than ever before. In combination with the thrilling, yet very down-to-earth production by Pelander himself, Philip Gabriel Saxin and Anton Sundell it just throws you in dreamy sonic landscapes that will mesmerize and haunt you alike.
