Song: Angel Witch
Album: Angel Witch
Year: 1980
Label: Bronze
Taking influence from Deep Purple's Ian Gillian vocals, Angel Witch simmer up a classic occult themed heavy metal album with their self titled debut. Although the level of occultism is seen as novelty as best, it was still quite shocking at the time (Remember, Number of the Beast still sent shockwaves through England and the US and that was 1982!). The guitars are what really shines through this album, speedy riffs and frantic solos are all over this album. It's hard to believe that just 3 years before the release of this album, Led Zeppelin was still writing bluesy hard rock and at their peak of popularity. What a way to chime in the new decade of the 80s than with this album!
