Psychedelic Witchcraft Reissue Black Magic Man EP
Cult rockers Psychedelic Witchcraft released their debut full-length, The Vision, this spring on Soulseller Records. The Italian outfit has followed up that offering with a reissue of their 2015 EP, Black Magic Man (review here), that includes a bonus track Sam Gopal cover tracked as a tribute to Lemmy Kilmister, who played in the band prior to joining Hawkwind, and features new cover art, clearly digging the psych vibe of the songs on the EP.
The PR wire has it like this:
PSYCHEDELIC WITCHCRAFT: Italian Occult Rock Conjurors Reissue Black Magic Man EP On Limited-Edition Twelve-Inch Purple Vinyl Via Taxi Driver Records
New Pressing Includes Bonus Cover Track/Lemmy Tribute
Italian occult rock conjurors PSYCHEDELIC WITCHCRAFT — who recently announced their disbanding — released their critically lauded debut EP, Black Magic Man, last Summer via Taxi Driver Records.
Initially issued as a limited-edition ten-inch and now long sold out, Taxi Driver recently repressed the EP on twelve-inch purple vinyl with an etched B-side. Limited to three-hundred copies, the release comes with updated cover art by British poster artist Matt Wilkins as well as a bonus cover track tribute to Motörhead’s Lemmy Kilmister titled “The Dark Lord” originally released in 1969 by psychedelic rock band Sam Gopal (which featured Ian Willis AKA Lemmy).
Comments PSYCHEDELIC WITCHCRAFT leader Virginia Montisais, “I’m so excited for the reissue of Black Magic Man. I really wouldn’t expect a sold out and a second pressing when I first uploaded ‘Angela’ on YouTube. I’m very happy again to collaborate with Taxi Driver for the release of this new edition, because they’re the ones who made the PSYCHEDELIC WITCHCRAFT project possible and they always supported me in good and bad times from the beginning. We decided to add the cover of ‘The Dark Lord’ by Sam Gopal, that we play live very often, as a bonus track, a thought that came to mind after the tragic news of Lemmy’s death. For us, and everyone I think, Lemmy has been such an inspiration not only for his music, but also as an artist and person, and our best way to honor him was to include one of his songs in our EP’s reissue.”
PSYCHEDELIC WITCHCRAFT’s Black Magic Man EP is now available via the Taxi Driver webstore HERE as well as BandCamp at THIS LOCATION where you can hear a stream of the EP.
