"Witchcraft" was the second single Pendulum pulled from Immersion, their third album, in the summer of 2010, and it's the Australian drum and bass outfit going full throttle with a live rhythm section on board: Peredur ap Gwynedd on guitar, Gareth McGrillen on bass and KJ Sawka on drums. Rob Swire sings, wrote it with McGrillen, produced it with him and handled the mix.

It first crept onto the UK chart off the back of album downloads. The single came loaded with a drumstep mix by Swire plus remixes from John B, Netsky and Chuckie, and its artwork nods to the debut, Hold Your Colour. The song has had a busy afterlife in sports montages, including the BBC's review of the 2010–11 Formula One season, and it turned up again in the third season of Heartstopper.
