Reviews Customer Reviews for Death Penalty The Best Black Sabbath album,Black Sabbath never made. Rating: Many classic albums came out of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal,and this is one of them.
A classic debut for one of the era's classic cult bands,Witchfinder General forge a sound of doom on this album,unlike anything heard...since Black Sabbath's Volume 4.
In many ways this makes up for the loss of the old Sabbath sound,lost since 1974,and certainly changed with the vocals of Ronnie James Dio.
Witchfinder General's lead vocalist does a good job at imitating Ozzy,and his voice and lyrics capture a real urgency and poignancy that makes the music stand out.
Many classics abound,but the most enduring are the epic title track,a dark journey into loneliness and madness and of past wrongs never to be righted.
The band's grand anthem,"Witchfinder General" is one of the golden classics of the NWOBHM,evoking images of terror and blood,very much like the Vincent Price film that the band derives there name from.
Truly classic doom metal,reccomended for fans of Black Sabbath,British Metal and Doom Metal.
Excellent and very underrated masterpiece.
Note:HILARIOUS cover art,practically worth the price by itself!
Customer Reviews for Death Penalty Cd Their better album Rating: This album is better than friends of hell and to me what can be understood as metal. The album has three songs I continually played for awhile the last two songs on the album are great and witchfinder general. The pictures on their albums are horrible but that should not distract you from peeking.
