 The self-titled debut was a bolt from the blue: definitely derivative, but certainly real and played with a passion that hadn’t been felt for some time.

 At the end of the day, "Firewood" is positive but also half-succeeded... It’s an album made with courage, one that should not be missed if you love these types of sounds.

Witchcraft's Firewood is a courageous second album that pays homage to vintage '70s hard rock and doom metal influences.

 Identity. A title that accurately captures the concept emerging from this album, a well-rounded representation of who Marcello Parrilli is: composer, singer-songwriter, performer.
