We are all so lucky to get great music free online. Buy a shirt, go see a show, whatever. This band is older then me and I hope it will keep going long after this random comment
@@B33t_R007 I dont think so. I mean they get a very very low amount of money for Spotify streaming but that's only good if you have like more than a Million listeners. Metallica, Iron Maiden etc. Get a lot from that. But to help Bands that haven't that attention it is the Best to by their physical stuff. Shirts, CD, Vinyl, patches, etc. I don't even use Spotify or something else except UA-cam. But I still buy the Vinyl.
After a complete and full listen, I must say that Kevin Heybourne continues to write music with a modern approach that harkens back to the original 1980 debut album. Very impressive.
I bought the first Angel Witch album on vinyl in 1980 in a small import record shop in NY which I frequented on Saturdays twice each month.. Back then, these import shops were the only source for finding an album like this in the states. I valued the shop owner's recommendations as he never did steer me wrong. It's now 40 years later... a wave of nostalgia hits me dead on as I see myself in my younger days in that little shop checking out the cover art of what was the new Angel Witch. The shop owner spins a sample on the turntable as I become an instant fan of the band and the album I'll be taking home with me this day. Thanks to the legendary Angel Witch for the 40 years and hopefully the many years that are yet to come.
@@brigham2250 After reading your reply, I tried so hard to remember the name of that shop and even googled rare record stores including those no longer in business, but came up with nothing. Perhaps there's a better way to do a search. I don't live too close by there nowadays, but it was located on Central Avenue (just off Jackson Ave at the overpass) in Yonkers, NY. (possibly even on the border of or in Scarsdale).
Sabbath fan since 71. The greatest bands from NWOBHM Saxon, Angelwitch, Samson,and the rest are notable mentions. Tygers of pan tang, Iron maiden, Diamond head, etc.
I'm really shocked that a lot of people never heard of Angel Witch. I just hope this album will open a lot of eyes for metalheads who unappreciated old school!
Antonio Cdja it becomes apparent so many people never heard about Angel Witch and know nothing of NWOBHM because mass media support only alternative hybrid metal or crap american mallcore.
Douglas Fisher in the 90s all of the metal and hard rock magazines along with mass media at large criminally hid the history of NWOBHM because record companies decided to support only grunge or extreme metal. Nowadays they keep on hiding the hystory of NWOBHM in order to support crap music. At least in the 90s there were some great death metal bands that didn't forget about their roots. Of course NWOBHM remains an underground movement but it's our religion and it represents the true spirit of traditional heavy metal. Some bands like Iron Maiden and Saxon became legends and layed down the law.
@@riccardosilla4758 Nobody's hiding any history man, it's all out there for people to research, and arguably, the NWOBHM bands have always had huge support, but there's just too fucking many pretty much playing the same shit while other genres evolved. Big labels will only support the stuff they think will sell, BTW Metal Blade is a relatively big label in Metal, so I don't think they're necessary not supporting NWOBHM.
This album is every bit as good as their debut album in 1980, one of the top NWOBHM bands then, one of my faves along with Maiden, Priest, Saxon, Tygers of Pan Tang, Diamond Head, Def Leppsrd, Motorhead.
So glad you guys finally recorded studio version of "The Night is Calling", one of the most atmospheric AW songs, imo. Waited for it since I heard it for the very first time. Thank you for this album. Absolutely love it.
Surprised to see a new album from Angel Witch! I like the opening track so far, album opener sounds FANTASTIC!!!!! Their debut album is still one of my favorite albums of ANY genre of music, and easily stands the test of time as a Heavy Metal landmark. It ages very well and shows their immense talent as songwriters. Every song stands on it’s own. On to track two and this one sounds great as well! Angel Witch, class act in Heavy Metal.
Saw them loads of times back in the early days....there used to be an all nighter in a club in Soho , where they played three sets !! Kevin H took a hit from a smokestack in set 2 and couldn't see much , but carried on playing anyway. Legendary band 🤘🤘🤘
As a Sabbath fan since 71, Priest fan since 78, Saxon, since 80. My holy trinity. I knew about Angel Witch from the get go. I got their first album right when it came out. They were never going to break into my holy trinity. The three greatest bands from NWOHM are Saxon, Angel Witch, and to a lesser extent Samson. Iron maiden had 2 great first albums with Paul Dianno. When he left, they promptly dissapered up their asshole and pulled the ladder Up . Have you heard their latest album. I have tried to on 5 occasions, never got more than half way through. On each occasion, I was conspiring on ways to end my life. Head in the oven. Drink rat poison. Walk out Infront of a bus. Iron maiden have been irrelevant for year. The only 2 albums that are decent since Dianno left are Piece of Mind. Somewhere in Time. Back to Angel Witch. They may not have the back catalogue of maiden but they would destroy them on a one to basis. Already I am listening to Angel Witch 2019 and I am already through half of this great album. In what, 25 minutes. My holy trinity are thus, because they get in and know when it's time to get the fuck out of a song. Less, is indeed more. Something that Angel Witch know.
Wow! Just found this band today and I can't believe what I've been missing out on. So happy that there are still bands staying true to the old school sound while making modern music. An inspiration for sure.
This just proves that in they traveled back in time from 2019 to cut their debut album in 1980, but they ended up younger versions of themselves. Like other commenters I bought their original album in the early 80's. And now they still sounds the same. The spirit never ages.
Love the abundance of inverted power chords. I do this when i play because i love the dark evil sound. Can make even standard tune riff become a face melter.
Wow I've been waiting for this since I bought the first lp in Cleveland Ohio in 1980 thanks Kevin this band is fantastic and this is as well angel witch forever!
To all the old metal fans who like this style of metal, have a look at the NWOTHM band scene. New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal. Visigoth, Eternal Champion etc....
Mario Croatia you have a good taste in music! my favourite NWOBHM bands are Satan, Cloven Hoof, Angel Witch, Saxon, Witchfinder General, Tysondog, Savage, Blitzkrieg and obviously Iron Maiden.
Andy H in my view the purpose of NWOTHM is to support young blood and it's alright but you have to praise NWOBHM to keep the flame alive. NWOBHM is a form of culture !
Fantastic album,at least as good as their incredible first album nearly 40 years ago!Every track is a classic,but Window of Despair is just something else!
During my first listen I was lacking that kind of special magic the debut album provided, but as I keep coming back here I can hear more and more they didn't give up on the craft at all!
Finally! A new album that incorporates the '80s Heavy Metal sound and is recorded now! Not like the rest of fully processed out of the electronics sound equipment of modern generic called "Metal"...
Please come to play to my hometown Valladolid aka Pucela (Spain) !!! Last time I saw you was in Madrid but if you wanna give me the gift of my 50th anniversary come to play here !!! Salud y Vida Pa'lante !!! Cheers and Life On !!!
Sorry man, AW wrote this song in the early 80s and Nemesis ripped it off, Nemesis were the ones paying tribute (stealing the song actually 😂). Angel Witch just decided to officially record it as they should have done 40+ years ago.
Any supposed hard rock/ metal fan who hasn't heard of a band. Needs strapping to a post and flogged. Do some research sonny Jim It's incredibly easy now due to Google. I have been a metal fan since 71. Back in the prehistoric days. Did not stop me from accruing 10,000 albums. Have any of you poseurs heard about, Wytchfynde , Witch Finder General, Anvil, Ratt, Molly Hatchet, Etc etc etc etc etc etc. Back in my prehistoric days I listened to rock station on the radio. I heard a band or three that I really liked. I made it my mission to actually visit a music store I am also a Tull fan since 77. And Genesis fan since 75. Oh my god what herasey.
Back to my original message I meant if Angel Witch were on a stage trading songs with Maiden, it would be an absolute slaughter. My life savings would be on Angel Witch.
Great stuff. Great musician and guitarist but I really love his vocals. When they brought in new vocalist[s] in around 1983? they lost the vibe. Would kill to see these guys.
Have to be honest, this album is better than I expected. Vocals are mixed back but that's okay. They were always the weak spot with this band. The riffs are great!

Ouvindo agora 🤟👍🇧🇷.
No hint of anything remotely modern, the way a NWOBHM band should always sound. Amazing album.
Well said mate
I wouldn't say so, but the overall sound is definitely very oldschool.
Bought the album, it's worth it
One of the best metal albuns of the year
Angle whitch you know I just met one I ain’t kidding around every metal man goes his way meaning making new stuff this is great I’ll rate this 👍👍🤘🤘

I've still the original LP! It is a manifesto of my metal youth...and I'm still metalhead (Now devoted to Black Metal)
Wild how good this record is... sounds like angel witch 2 and thats great. Dead on 1980 again. Thanks again for this great record and many others
This is one of the best album of the year playlist for sure love this so much
This album kicks ass! Just discovered these guys. I'll be checking out their other stuff now.
Thanks Metal Blade for sharing this for us! Its very generous. I will get the LP :-p

2019 is a very good year for the classic metal
My favourite nwobhm band is Diamond Head, second best is Jaguar..Then Angel Witch, Savage, Tygers of Pan Tang, Tank, Blitzkrieg.
