Often overlooked as a progenitor of Britain’s late-1970s metal movement in favor of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest et al., Angel Witch’s eponymous debut was nonetheless a satisfying slice of Sabbath-influenced doom riffs, lyrical mysticism, and arena-ready twin-guitar melodies. For the most part, however, ANGEL WITCH delivers on tried-and-true trashing and slashing.
