Witchcraft, who released Legend last year, will join forces with San Francisco group Orchid for a European tour this April/May.

According to their label Nuclear Blast Records, the "Swedes Witchcraft were one of the first bands who started to recreate the sound of old heroes like Pentagram around 2000 and who only had one goal in mind: to revive the 70s sound with landmark releases such as Firewood. They returned with Legend in 2012 and proved their status as leaders of a whole subgenre once more!"

Orchid, on the other hand, released their debut EP Through The Devil's Doorway in 2009 and later their album Capricorn in 2011. Their second full-length release will be upon us in early 2013.
