8/8 #WitchfinderGeneral #MicroMetaljourney

As a bonus, I listened to their EP "Soviet Invasion!" which was quite enjoyable after the disaster that was Resurrection.

Oh well, sometimes it is better to leave things where they are, no resurrection needed. Resurrection for example, that was not needed.

Musically it was ok, but the weak vocals ruined it, so...

2/5 (some highlights, but not my cup of tea).

So here is my final Witchfinder General ranking:

1. Friends of Hell 4
2. Death Penalty 3
3. Resurrection 2

25 years have passed an out of nowhere Witchfinder General release a new album called Resurrected and is nowhere to be found on any streaming service, so I have to listen to YT videos.

One song in, and I don't like the vocals.

On "Frinds of Hell" Witchfinder General found their groove. The album has some real bangers, esp the title track and this one:

🎵 Requiem for Youth

Witchfinder General's second album "Friends of Hell" starts with a song about making love to a dying witch. 🤔

Ok, the name of the song that follows somehow fits then...

🎵 Last Chance

I'v read that Witchfinder General were influenced by Black Sabbath. Well, that is fairly obvious if you listen to their debut. I like the garage sound they have to them.

I never really heard of Witchfinder General. They released two albums in they 80s, split up and came back with an album in 2008.

That sounds interesting, let's do a #MicroMetaljourney 🤘

Kicking things off with their 1982 debut "Death Penalty":

1/n 🧵

#TomsMusic #Metaljourney

First and last full lenght album done on my #Kanonenfieber #MicroMetaljourney

"Menschenmühle" is remarkable. Lyricwise it is very heavy stuff, but that's to be expected on an album about the WW1.

Musicwise it sounds amazing. #BlackMetal is dominant, but as I've written before, it also has its #DeathMetal elements. It is very melodic and even epic I'd say. Sometimes I got strong #AnaalNathrakh vibes.

4/5 Kanonenkugeln, great album!

I'll continue with their EPs now.
