New/Sealed. Already sold out from the manufacturer! One of the first and greatest “black metal” albums, and one of the
records that helped launch the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement,
the 1980 self-titled debut from Angel Witch still packs a wallop some
37 years later. Unlike, say, Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin, songwriter
Kevin Heybourne’s lyrical imagery just doesn’t dabble in the occult, it
lives (dies?) there, with abundant sword and sorcery themes and tales
(e.g. “Angel of Death”) of damnation. Yet, as on the title track, the
band is not above crafting some catchy hooks, though the raw production
ensures that those hooks have barbs. Limited edition (of 350 copies) on
“white witch” vinyl. Buy or be eternally condemned!
