Angel Witch

[Cardinal-Sin]

quel titre fantastique quand même

[weik]

Encore un excellent groupe de la NWOBHM qui avait sorti ce fabuleux premier album eponyme qui a raté le coche pour cause de pas de chance et mauvais management ...

[TOTOL01]

Je l'ai eu ce disque, pas mal du tout en effet.

[Gaëtan]

You're an angel witch !!! You're an angel witch !!!!

Clair que ce morceau est un putain d'hymne. Je suis d'ailleurs étonné de ne jamais l'entendre dans les ballrooms allemandes.

[Dark Schneider]

L'album Screamin and bleedin est assez correcte également, bien qu'inféireur au 1er album.


J'ai également un le live at the LA2, y'a des vidéos dessus, mais globalement il est à chier (son pourri...).

Leur "Angel of Death" aurait pu être un hymne aussi

Culte ce premier album c'est clair, même si Kevin Heybourne était un chanteur médiocre il se rattrapait bien à la guitare et a su composer des bons morceaux en avance sur leur temps.

Vous avez remarqué que le riff d'"Angel of death" a été pompé par MANILLA ROAD sur le fameux "dreams of eschaton"?

Tom Gabriel Fischer (Celtic Frost) fait sa groupie d'Angel Witch :

"I had waited 30 years for this.

It is not a coincidence that Triptykon practices in a rehearsal room decorated with ANGEL WITCH photos and record sleeves. The importance of Angel Witch’s music with regard to my own path cannot be overstated. Hearing Angel Witch’s groundbreaking and utterly dark 'Baphomet', on the legendary Metal For Muthas compilation in 1980, was a revelation beyond any description. As was Angel Witch’s eponymous debut album, that same year. It hardly ever left my record player. Kevin Heybourne’s songwriting and playing style in Angel Witch spoke to me far beyond most other music I had ever heard, and it became - along with BLACK SABBATH's Vol. 4 and VENOM's Welcome To Hell - a most crucial inspiration which eventually encouraged me to try and form my own group. These were the very roots of Hellhammer.

I couldn’t help reflecting on all of these things, of course, as I was standing at the side of Jalometalli Festival’s second stage some time after midnight on August 15th, 2010, watching Angel Witch perform shortly after we in Triptykon had finished our own set on the other stage. I had wished fervently to see Angel Witch live when I was a teenager during the NWOBHM years of the early 1980s; alas it never became possible. Angel Witch, not unlike Celtic Frost, subsequently traversed a variety of musically contradictory and inconsistent periods. But now, all this time later, what had already transpired by means of reports from friends in the scene in recent years was confirmed beyond any doubt. I was witness to a concert by an intoxicatingly revitalized, spirited band. Iconic songs such as 'Baphomet' or 'Angel Of Death' radiated a staggering, modern darkness and heaviness.

Kevin himself was most gracious and patient in enduring my pathetic fanboy worshipping after the concert, and I am deeply indebted to Angel Witch’s Will Palmer for making all of this even possible in the first place. It meant the world to me. I have become a musician in my own right in the many years since Metal For Muthas, but as I stated recently onstage in London, I owe infinitely much of it all to Angel Witch."

Et merde, un gars valable qui se met au bonnet...

[Thrashos]

N'empêche, à force de l'entendre encore et encore (et encore...), je pense vraiment que ce morceau nous achèvera tous.

[guardianofsteel]

T'éxagère...on l'écoute pas si souvent que ça

[olivier64]

Pour le lien avec la musique de Celtic Frost et d'Angelwitch, il suffit d'écouter le morceau Angel of death. On croirait entendre du Celtic Frost !

[Everflow]

Le lien d'origine n'existe plus, le revoici.

J'ai rajouté un sondage, à 2 votes sinon 100% des votes iraient certainement au premier album.
