5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most underrated NWOBHM bands., July 29, 1999

By

This review is from: Angel Witch (Audio CD)

This trio was one of the best groups to come out of the NWOBHM scene. It was too bad that only a select few knew about them. Kevin Heybourne fronted this group with catchy demonic riffs that sent chills down your spine with vocals that were crisp and clear.This album is a must for anyone that was a fan of a great musical "scene" that only some of us understood and appreciated. Angel Witch came out with a second album entitled "Screaming and Bleedin" but it did not have the same pioneering projects as this. It is hard to believe that this "album" is almost twenty years old and still "gets metal".

This review is from: Angel Witch (Audio CD)

as other reviewers have noted,angel witch contributed to the launching of the NWOBHM in the early 80's.they quickly faded into obscurity,which is a shame as they where awesome!!lots of riffs,great catchy choruses,"satanic" references - what more could you want??some of it does sound a bit dated to my ears,but in a way ADDS to the fun,remembering this was released in 1980!!so,taking into account the extra tracks,great liner notes and remastered songs,you should consider this ESSENTIAL

4.0 out of 5 stars A must own for Iron Maiden fans, January 16, 2005

Lunar Strain "Thrash, don't mind if I do" (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Angel Witch (Audio CD)

After finally hearing Angel Witch's debut, its no wonder that Iron Maiden fans speak of this album highly! This is a classic NWOBHM disc that has all the tradmark NWOBHM sounds. My only regret was not trying the band soon as I was turned off by their rather silly band name. The music is great and the lyrics are catchy. Don't let their name and "satanic" image fool you, this is a great band and its a shame they weren't able to achieve the success as Iron Maiden. Some say this disc is even better than Maiden's debut. I can't decide but there's no denying the greatness of this disc. Make sure to pick up a remastered copy with bonus tracks as it makes the listening experience that much better.
