Ye Olde Metal: Witchfinder General's Friends of Hell

The 2013 Martin Popoff short ebook about the making of the Witchfinder General album, Friends Of Hell.


Witchfinder General blew a whole in the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal with their doom dealings. And really, they were the inaugural doom band past what Sabbath had established, pioneers that begat Trouble, Candlemass and Cathedral. Little has been written on this mysterious two-album band, 'cos they didn't do many interviews, nor get asked to all that often. This is the story of the band's second and last album, a fine slab of massive, surging metal that still creeps out NWOBHM aficionados to this day.
