Give 'Em Hell

Witchfynde

Proto-Proto Death Metal (1980)
South Of The Dial #2

Ok. These guys are NOT Death Metal. AT ALL,.Like, not even close. They ARE Proto-Doom though. If you're into doom, especially the druggy, retro quasi-hippie stuff where Black Sabbath are spliced with all that late 60s psychedelic blues band stuff like Jethro Tull than this is your Holy Grail. Perhaps Ground Zero of that entire Doom Movement. Whereas bands like Saint Vitus took the hardcore punk approach to Sabbath's back catalog, band's like Witchfynde in 1980 and Witchcraft in the 2000s mined the psychedelic, hippie-ish elements. I love BOTH approaches and will be writing about Saint Vitus soon enough.

HOWEVER, as a prime NWOBHM band back in 1980, Witchfynde influenced Venom in other ways. Their satanic imagery and album cover was obviously massively influential on Venom (I mean just compare those two album covers. Case closed.) and thus the entire black and death movements that followed.

At any rate, just an incredibly killer NWOBHM, Proto-Doom release from 1980 that deserves to be in more charts and onmore turntables. One of my favorite metal releases to be on from 1980. [First added to this chart: 07/13/2021]
