Shows that life in Socialist countries wasn't that much of a nightmare...Socialist Poland also had a local heavy metal / speed metal scene...Turbo...Kat..
These guys broke up the same year. It’s interesting when they reformed around 1985/86 they brought in a new singer. But the guitar player who was also was the lead singer stopped singing on further albums.
F**k me - feel just like Tom Baker watching this - takes me straight back to Brolly's in Richmond (early 80s) - Angel of Death was the heaviest song in the world until those thrash chaps turned up...😊😊😊
what....this is excellent quality for East German TV with commie-cops off stage. all kidding aside we are lucky that this footage got out of East Germany
There’s footage of the moon landing in better nick than this. I’m surprised the Commie ls even allowed a band like Angel Witch on TV. Western Rock n Roll was frowned upon by those in power and as we all know, what the powerful people in Communist countries don’t like, the people don’t usually get.
@@rockettaco It was recorded in the West on a PAL system. We could watch each other's TV, but only in b&w. Contrary to common belief Western TV wasn't banned in the GDR.
@@LordPryderi At first I thought they were some kind of rebel East German band that sung in English that I never heard of because they lived behind the Wall ☺️ I was obviously stoned. They sound great 😃
Every time I hear that song, it gets stuck in my head for days 😂
I had no idea they were showing this anywhere in the Eastern Bloc!
I didn't imagine DDR was so cool 😅

@@RealKull Well, the quality of life did go DOWN in the former DDR after reunification, so you may be on to something!
Stunning footage, those were the days
I listened to this album a million times back in the day
I'm 50 years old for the last 40 years I,ve been a rock and roll, heavy metal , Grunge kind of guy.
Saw them live around the time this song came out. Great music was everywhere back then and they were one of the best!
saw these guys at Crocs, Rayleigh, Essex, here in the UK, must have been '79? Then again at Reading Rock festival in '80.
First time I have heard these guys and they fuckin rock!! 2021 listener still hear.
You're an Angel Witch!!! You're an Angel Witch!!!!!!!!
Wow that's some classic stuff, man!
Thanks for uploading :)
1981 wow...

I don’t remember seeing ANY ROCK bands like this on MTV. MTV sucked! Yet everyone still watched mtv.
It's grainy but I can imagine being there and hearing what it actually sounds like, and in color.
Awesome 👍😎

We couldn't crack the evil code in the US. All chicks and cars and positive thinking.
Awes
Sounds like any American hard rock band in 1971
Sex, drugs, rock n' roll, they had everything!
Is that Stevie Knicks on Guitar?
Were they playing in a middle school?
East Germany
Wow how can the quality be this bad. This is from 1981 and the quality is worse than videos from 1896. What the actual fuck.
what....this is excellent quality for East German TV with commie-cops off stage.
all kidding aside we are lucky that this footage got out of East Germany
@@LordPryderi oh yeah, I didn’t realize that it was from east Germany.
@@h3l1x23 its a copy of a copy on vhs, and each one will look worse
Playback indeed...but who cares? Such a relic!!!!!!!!!!
In DDR 1981 they still had black and white tv? Well, maybe they coudn't ask for such capitalistic luxury as color tv.
brutalictesku no, the tape played in colour only on external soviet hardware, and over the years lost its colour through vhs copying

Could also be an effect of the SECAM format being played on PAL hardware

@@cehaem2 I had thought as much. I was explaining why the video was b&w to the OP
Is that Lizzo on bass?
what?? 😂😂😂
This actually rocks. Why do they sing in English?
because they are British.
