Although there is an existing thread concerning there reunion, I was unable to find a thread soley designated to NWOBHM/Doom band Witchfinder General.

I have "Death Penalty" and its right good...if you like early doom metal and by some chance haven't heard these guys, this stuff is definately worth a listen.

Fans?

I've heard their stuff They're class , their albums have topless models on the cover lol

Yea "Burning a Sinner" and "RIP" were on Death Penalty...they are both great songs.

damn i cannot imagine how they would sound nowadays.

Me either lol probly totally different...I wonder if they will maintain the "heavy metal" aspect of their sound or just dive into straight traditional doom...

Dunno but Panag Altar listen 70ties of them and yjen 2006 album and IMO sabe be whit WG

Death Penatly >>> Friend's Of Hell.

Nervel you're so insightful lol

Yeah, these guys are good...I find they sound too much like Black Sabbath in places but they have their own original twist on it...

I haven't heard too many songs, but I like them. Just like most traditional doom metal bands I've heard, they sound similar to Black Sabbath. I need to get one of their albums...

edit: Wow, I listened to more of it, and while I still like it, they copy Sabbath a little too blatantly.

Yea....but who the fuck cares. I mean they have some cool original material as well....:)

Witchfinder General fucking kill. I also prefer Death Penatly over Friends of Hell, but both albums are classics. Needs way more fans.

THE LAWS, THE RIGHTS, THE OUTTA SIGHTS - YOU KNOW THEY ALL SHOULD BUUUU-UUUUUURN

I really wish they were more accessable

In home page are some smaples but in vibrationsofdoom are album and you probobly like covers

@K7: Oh yes, I LOVE the album covers haha. That's probably why they wouldn't be as accessable...... But Vibrationsofdoom calls for RealPlayer . I've heard them before and like them, but that was through their myspace page [where the songs CANNOT be downloaded] .

I'm just really getting into this band now.
I like the mix of doom and NWOBHM. I only have the album death penalty, can some recommend some other good albums by them?
Or are they all good?

They are all good. But Death Penalty is imo their best followed by this year's one (Resurrected)
