Artist: Witchfynde
Song: The Divine Victim
Album: Give 'em Hell
Year: 1980
Label: Rondelet
With the goofy album cover aside, Witchfynde plays some serious midtempo hard rock with equally serious lyrics. The Divine Victim is about the Joan of Arc, who they praised as she was martyred as a witch. Inferring from the rest of the satanic and occult themes of the album, it would easily have been one of the more controversial albums if the band wasn't so obscure! The entire song is played in a very lax manner, and never speeds up or down, and really borders the heavy metal and hard rock borders, but with its occult tendencies, there's no choice but to lump it in the NWOBHM camp.
