Croatia’s Witchcraft emerges from the shadows of the late 1980s with "Eternal Sea", a demo LP that captures the raw essence of thrash and heavy metal in its infancy. Originally released in 1989 and available only on cassette, this 2024 reissue reminds us of a time when the genre was still shaping its identity, and bands like Witchcraft were at the forefront of that creative explosion. Despite its demo roots, "Eternal Sea" feels remarkably polished for its era, boasting aggressive guitar work, blistering solos, and vocal performances that are as diverse as they are ferocious. With its mix of thrash intensity and heavy metal theatrics, this LP stands as a testament to the genre’s early potential.
