A glorious slab of anti-war doom from Florence, Italy.

Florence's fantastically named Psychedelic Witchcraft have been kind enough to let us premier their new song and video Lords Of The War here on Kerrang!, which is great for us and great for you, the reader, because who could possibly be opposed to jamming a bit of Italian doom first thing on a Monday morning?
Psychedelic Witchcraft vocalist Virginia had this to say on Lords Of The War:
"We grew up with artists like Bob Dylan singing Master of War, Black Sabbath with War Pigs and many others. Those artists were speaking to a generation, that’s what art and artists do - they share problems they all feel and live. We live in a time in which we feel something bad could happen at any time.
"But this song is not about politics. We are against the sin of war, the injustice that violence and war can cause to all of us. At the same time we don’t have to stop living our lives; we won’t surrender. Only love is real and we must remain united, in life and in music.
"Understanding dissolves fears. When we understand the true nature of our being, fears dissipate. We are spiritual beings, not human beings and we must learn to overcome fears.”
This all makes sense to us. Check out the anti-war jam right here:
