Sound Of The Wind follows PSYCHEDELIC WITHCRAFT's 2015 Black Magic Man EP (Taxi Driver Records), their 2016 critically-lauded debut full-length The Vision (Soulseller Records) and 2017'sMagick Rites And Spells compilation (Soulseller Records), a collection of tracks not included in the debut album.

Champions Team Rock of Sound Of The Wind, "The Florence-based four-piece rise above their peers thanks to the mesmerizing, smokey snarl of Virginia Monti's vocals and the blues/classic hard rock guitar of Jacopo Fallai, adding a sexy, wicked vibe to their occult lyrics. Between the two instrumental bookends, 'Maat' and 'Horizons,' 'Lords Of The War' buries a classic blues riff still sporting ZZ Top's beard hair underneath lithe grooves and witchy rallying cries, the title track is a sultry, intoxicated slumber, and 'Rising On The Edge' is broadcast direct from Highway 666." Distorted Sound writes, "PSYCHEDELIC WITCHCRAFT have returned on top form with Sound Of The Wind, as they explore the depth of their sound and tap into your mind with each track. It's an album to sit down, cut off the world, and immerse yourself in as they take you on a blues/doom infused journey that really manages to revitalize and give a breath of fresh air into a genre that's otherwise typically bleak... Continuing on this trajectory, we can see PSYCHEDELIC WITCHCRAFTbecoming a big thing over the next few years." Uncivil Revolt concurs, "This album is fantastic from front to back...legitimate old school rock, in the modern world."
