Review by Sonny for Witchfinder General - Death Penalty (1982)
One of the greatest albums of the NWOBHM era and a genuine early doom classic, the slightly quirky twist on the Sabbath template sets it apart from other albums from the time. I've been giving this album regular plays for nearly forty years now and will never tire of it. Unfortunately the band failed to live up to that promise with disappointing follow up Friends of Hell signalling the start of a lengthy period of hibernation. Yet saying that, how many mediocre outfits would sell their souls for even one album this good?
