Angelwitch



Angelwitch's debut studio album. If Angelwitch had a fault (and that's a big "if"), it was the overproduction on this album. Maybe it's just because I heard the live album first, but the chorus harmonies always seemed too big and disco-fied on this record. Regardless, this is a legendary recording, and quite possibly the most perfect example of NWOBHM before Witchfinder General and Dickinson-era Maiden. In a perfect world, every jock asshole that claimed to be a Metallica fan in 1993 and DIDN'T own a copy of this album would've been molested extra hard by his wrestling coach as "Enter Sandman" played over the weightroom's loudspeaker.

Tracklist:
1. Angel Witch
2. Atlantis
3. White Witch
4. Confused
5. Sorcerers
6. Gorgon
7. Sweet Danger
8. Free Man
9. Angel of Death
10. Devil's Tower

Hi aimee,
That track is called "Loser", and it is indeed an Angelwitch track. It was left off the posted tracklist for some reason. I'll have to dig out my cassette to confirm it, but I believe it was an obscure bonus track the producers used to fill out the comp. This would explain why you couldn't find anything on google; there's not a lot out there on Agelwitch in general, much less obscure b-sides!

You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view

This band had a great debut album that I have not heard in years. However, the link is dead. Could you re-post. Thanks.
