Magnus Pelander (formerly of Norrsken) formed Witchcraft in 2000 in order to record a tribute to Pentagram's Bobby Liebling and Roky Erickson.

Arnesén was also the drummer in the surf trio "The Hollywoods" and 50s style rockers "Eva Eastwood and the Major Keys".

That same year the band toured the UK in support of Corrosion of Conformity, backed by the "Chylde of Fire" single.

During this tour, on 11 November 2006, Witchcraft performed at the Rock and Roll Hotel in Washington, D.C. For their encore they played Pentagram covers ("When the Screams Come" and "Yes I Do") with Bobby Liebling on vocals.

Contrary to the name of the album, it exclusively features acoustic music of a more somber and bleak tone than most of Witchcraft's other work.

The album seems to exclusively show the work of Magnus Pelander, performing both the vocals and lone acoustic guitar.

And perhaps mend a couple of broken ones.” These enigmatic few words from the Swedish band’s main songwriter give clues as to the songs’ intentions; a reference dropped to Coven’s 1969 album, ‘Witchcraft Destroys Minds and Reaps Souls.’ Coven also had a folkish, proto-doomed take at that point in their history, and that multifaceted nature has been a part of Witchcraft all along.
