Witchcraft (Obtained Enslavement album)

Witchcraft is the debut studio album by the Norwegian black metal band Obtained Enslavement. It was released in 1994 by Necromantic Gallery Productions.

The album is notable for its raw, aggressive sound, and is considered a key release in the early Norwegian black metal scene. It features elements of thrash metal and death metal alongside the traditional black metal characteristics such as blast beats, tremolo picking, and harsh vocals.

Lyrically, Witchcraft explores themes of darkness, evil, anti-Christian sentiment, and witchcraft, aligning with the typical lyrical content found in black metal during that period.

The album's lineup consisted of the band's founding members, including Pest on vocals and Torstein Parelius on guitar.

Witchcraft helped establish Obtained Enslavement's presence in the black metal underground and is regarded by some as a cult classic within the genre. The album has been re-released several times in various formats since its initial release.
