Angel Witch

Although no one today has probably heard about them, this group was one of the first bands to hit the NWOBHM scene (if you don't know what that means, look it up!)

"Angel Witch"

  1. "Angel Witch" (3:25)
  2. "Atlantis" (3:42)
  3. "White Witch" (4:48)
  4. "Confused" (2:51)
  5. "Sorcerers" (4:16)
  6. "Gorgon" (4:06)
  7. "Sweet Danger" (3:07)
  8. "Free Man" (4:44)
  9. "Angel of Death" (4:52)
  10. "Devil's Tower" (2:28)
  11. "Loser"--7" single a-side (2:50)
  12. "Suffer"--7" single b-side (3:24)
  13. "Dr. Phibes"--7" single b-side (2:50)
  14. "Flight Nineteen"--7" single b-side, instrumental (5:55)
  15. "Baphomet"--from "Metal for Muthas" (5:00)
  16. "Hades Paradise"--12" single b-side (4:37)

Although I owned the crappy vinyl for many years, I don't recall ever actually listening to it. Some people have called this the greatest NWOBHM album of all time...well, I dunno 'bout that, it's pretty good but nothing awe-inspiring. Of course, I was never a big fan of NWOBHM to begin with, and since this album is about as NWOBHM as you can get, I suppose you could call it the best of its genre. :)

This reissue contains a whopping SIX bonus tracks, including their song from Metal for Muthas (where fellow NWOBHM-ers Iron Maiden also made their vinyl debut.) Be warned, some pressings of this CD only contain 3 bonus tracks...or none at all!

"Frontal Assault"

  1. "Dream World" (3:49)
  2. "She Don't Lie" (5:54)
  3. "Frontal Assault" (4:01)
  4. "Something Wrong" (4:36)
  5. "Straight from Hell" (4:18)
  6. "Evil Games" (4:20)
  7. "Waltz the Night" (5:56)
  8. "Goodbye" (3:45)
  9. "Fatal Kiss" (4:40)
  10. "Whose to Blame" (4:05)

Not sure how many albums came out between their debut and this one, but they certainly went on a fast downhill slide. This one is cheesy, melodic pop-metal, with "Dream World" being the only song of note (and that one's not even that good.) Only reason I bought it was because I found it pretty damn cheap and it's quite a rarity these days. In fact, I might even be persuaded to sell it.....on second thought, bah, never mind. :)
