Angel Witch - Angel Witch

The song Angel Witch, performed in the studio.

[@zeusoftheaegis9038]

WOW Angel Witch was only a 3 man band? The singer is doing 3 things, singing, rhythm AND lead with a solo. Mad respect for these guys.

[@Anthropophagus]

Those vocal harmonies during the chorus are awesome.

Rush + heavy metal sound = Angel Witch.

[@jupante]

+ Thrash Metal

[@trikkke11]

Great voice, great phrasing, great sound, great riffs, great trio. After more than 30 years their debut is still one of my all time favourites. And La Heybourne is still going at it...

[@guiltygear101]

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Angel Witch rules!

[@carrzkiss]

This brings back some great memories. I remember buying this album from the local pawn shop, the same year it was released, for about $2.00. The Music store went out of business, and sold everything to the pawnshop, and I purchased 1/2 the enventory from them. I was about 13yrs old... Awesome memories. LOVE IT THANK YOU

[@arsenal8884]

Its fun to go into one of those indie record shops and then ask for a band that they have never heard of.

[@GrootsieTheDog]

Cliff Burton's dad brought me here. He was going through Cliff's album collection and one of the artists was Angel Witch.

[@matt11708]

nice

[@cdvitunac]

Cool! What else did he have?

[@donk026]

Came up in my feed. Haven't heard this in years. Time to get into my vinyl collection

[@georgemaroto5923]

fantástica banda! Me transportó 30 años atrás en el tiempo, viva el Rock y el heavy metal!

[@piewacket]

one of the grate lost metal bands of all time ! I bought this album back in 84' . it holds the test of time !

[@cadfog8450]

Yes. I do. Get it. Make sure you get the one with the b-sides bonus tracks. I had no idea they ever made a video. lol. Love this band.

[@samdoo1433]

I feel ashamed that I've never heard this before

[@Metalmelting]

Tu eres Angel Luis..Tu eres Angel Luis !!! One of my Favourite Bands of my rockin' Life !!! Cheers and Life On !!!!

[@kevinlyons542]

Top Band, followed them everywhere early 80's! Became quite friendly with them, especially Messers Riddles & Hogg! My profile pic is myself with the band in 1980! Great bunch of lads!

[@InvisibleYetVisible]

+Kevin Lyons Hogg's a top lad. I hung out with him at an Ozzy gig years ago and he was sound as fuck.

[@hujair]

Kevin Lyons That's fucking awesome man!

[@LipGlossMan]

Good Lord I love this era of metal, I wish I was around during this time, me and my friends would love this stuff! Great song.

[@bustermcnutt2452]

Without Angelwitch, there would have been no Mercyful Fate, Slayer, or Metallica!

[@marianvasile8193]

i think angel witch is more important in evolution of black metal than mercyful fate.angel witch was one of celtic frost main inspirations

[@mobcross]

Thanks Coo1, never seen this rare video before, my fave band of all time along with Sabbath. Heybourne is the unluckiest guy around, should've made it bigger in the metal world, he's still a legend.

[@MSGDK]

THEIR DEBUT IS POWER.

[@robguzzler]

I love Angel Witch. Great Stuff.

[@ericrivera9415]

I can't believe that this is the only Angel Witch video from their early career. You would normally assume that there would be at least a couple of these.

[@bustermcnutt2452]

This was before MTV.

[@metalheadneji]

I love this song can't count how many times I played it the past few years; it's a metal masterpiece.

[@Thyne138]

Typing in Angel Witch Angel Witch and clicking the video brought me here.

[@george14141414]

this is one of my favourite albums ever!

[@briansteffmagnussen9078]

Nice song, Reminds me a little of the good old Sweet sound. Saw Angel Witch live at Metal Magic Festival in Fredericia, Denmark guess it is tree or four years ago. MMF Festival is a great event with tree stages and band members are mixed up with the audience in headbanging and stage diving.

[@85haromaster]

what a great band! my kingdom for a time machine!!!

[@lemmyrocks]

The NWOBHM was great. I used to crank this song up a lot. Still sounds amazing today. What a great song.

[@TheSilverRanger]

Brutal Legend brought me here.

[@poispo]

man this is spinal tap..class! it dont get better than this as far as 70´s metal is concerned..fantastic

[@emiliamota]

Thank you for sharing that treasure!

[@JamotHica]

I can't annoy my neighbours at this volume!!

[@booker95]

que rareza de coleccion,en su peak,gracias cumpita-- very rare material

[@Steele_Hard]

Fvckin´damn good stuff beside yeh-yeh, groove, doom reminiscence, but into the end damn fine NWOBHM!

[@pacolightmaster]

+Xoan García (Sean Wolfson) Lo es; y lo sabes

[@Steele_Hard]

+light master hahahaha ha hell yeah!

[@obeeloc3005]

This video is so AWESOME!!

[@NWOBHMdude]

wow. it's stuff like THIS that makes me keep coming back to KZbin.

[@alcohollica2000]

WOW This makes me feel Even Older. Your an Angel Witch.

[@LeslieWolf71]

just can't stop listening to this! \m/

[@NachoDeath666]

NEW WAVE OF BRITISH HEAVY METAL!!!!!

[@renegadenation2482]

AWSOME!!

[@heavydoom]

amazing stuff. this brings back memories!!

[@JasonUmbrellabird]

Great, saw them 3 times in '79 I think, The Hermit Brentwood, Romford and Chelmsford. Goit Kevin's plectrum in Brentwood and made a tape recording in Romford which I listened to a lot and wish I still had. he was a great guitarist and I always thought the bassist was a big fucker.

[@BEASTSTRIKE]

SIMPLY AMAZING STUFF... HAD NO IDEA OF THE EXISTENCE OF THIS VIDEO!!!

[@PeterSchmee]

So he sings just like it´s nothing and shreds a motherfriggin´solo during it... WTF, this is insane! I have problems just to sing along during a song which has 3 Chords, i love Angel Witch!

[@johnscrip]

One of the greats, no doubt.

[@acakerlund]

NWOBHM and NWOSHM(New Wave of Swedish Heavy Metal / Heavy Load, Gotham City, and bands alike) are probably among the best things created by humanity.

[@larryspeed]

I got this single just after it was released and still love it. Thanks for posting it. P.S. You can see where Spinal Tap came from now I guess. Larry

[@SinisterManiac]

Hell yeah!

[@speedfreak18ish]

good old new wave!

[@PoweredByDarkness]

Brutal Legend attack!!!!

[@matt11708]

that game is very good, good soundtrack and jack black

[@JasonUmbrellabird]

I always thought their other songs better than this. Inspired me to form my own band, we couldn't get any gigs as we were all too young at the time. These were the first gigs I ever went to though, my band's name was (I'm embarrased now... GOLEM) Angelwitch completely inspired me along with Rush. Unfortunately became follically challenged so had to give up headbanging, although have been known to air guitar when the feeling takes me.

[@KaptainKaotic]

Fantastic song...ahhh great memories of my youth...This song still fuckin rocks!!!

[@jimruthless]

greatest band ever?

[@TheJosetoMusic]

LO TENGO EN VINILO!!!

[@SandroSoto]

True metal! it really sounds good

[@axl_angulo00]

I really love this song, it's so amazing. When I heard it while playing Brütal Legend, I went nuts XD. This happened to anyone else?

[@christophermurphy5729]

facts

[@axl_angulo00]

christopher murphy Fuck yes, it's a fact! Long live Angel Witch and long live Heavy Metal!

[@lilpoloclip]

I agree I was playing Brutal Legend recently and this song played and I remembered how dope it was.

[@jezzer77777]

Axl Vadze best ever game soundtrack.

[@hot6metal]

TREASURE!!!

[@MetalBertil]

My imaginary friend who is half man and half carrot brought me here...

[@palad1]

Bought the 30th anniversary album on iTunes after finishing : Brütal Legend - best 10 quid I spent so far!

[@RonnieK824]

To anyone here who likes Hokuto no Ken. This singer looks just like Shin, and you could consider Yuria his Angel Witch. :D

[@SwordEma]

Is cutted in the initial and final part :( the song is great, and also the album is amazing!

[@JasonUmbrellabird]

Someone called Hogsfoot wrote one of the reviews on Amazon and seemed to know what he was talking about. Maybe a coincidence.

[@Rowsdower]

This was a sweet video. Got any more Angel Witch videos? One of the legends of the NWOBHM.

[@317East32nd]

Five stars just for being here. Looks as though this was shot well after 1980. Either that or Ozzy stole his shoulder pads and sequins idea from Kevin Riddles. Regardless, thanks!

[@gimnopingado]

Dawn fuckin' good! I will note one small things..you should try to turn the sound lound to blow speakers off hwen uploading this video! !!!!! LOL!!! Thanks for the masterpiece!

[@JasonUmbrellabird]

I never got any albums by them, but really liked Baphomet, Sorceress(?), Shit, time to google me some Angelwitch.

[@ryanzdeathbaylon8551]

POwer/Speed Metal Band.

[@yirkarja2884]

You are not alone

[@deathclock9]

haha me too I work 12 hours a day driving.

[@JasonUmbrellabird]

Totally agree with you there grumpy, I had an old tape of them in Romford or somewhere that I secretly recorded and played to death in my youth. Got the T-shirt too. I'm sure I saw the guitarist strummin' to himself around a tent at Stonehenge festival in the early 80's. I could've been mistaken. Any idea where I can get MP3's of the songs you mention?

[@deathclock9]

They're not better, you just like them more. I wonder why nobody understands this...

[@JasonUmbrellabird]

Just downloaded some stuff. Blimey I've just connected HADES PARADISE is pure RUSH!

[@DiegoNavaja]

This is great!! Does anyone jnows where i can found this tab??

[@ferrous__bueller]

Sucks that the album is so expensive to purchase. EVERYWHERE is at least $17. Even the reissue.

[@deadfishy666]

Good, it opened a door to NWOBHM for you. Check out the song called Baphomet... And the rest of the record. It will knock your socks off!

[@JasonUmbrellabird]

Wow, fantastic, where'd they hail from then, if it's not too stupid a question? My local was The Hermit in Brentwood, but would sometimes travel to Chelmsford, Romford and London to see gigs. Do you know much about the Sinister History album and do you have it?

[@pat12pack]

FUCK YEAH BROTHER!!

[@kozagong]

anybody got a link to this video in better quality?

[@hitgame100]

Yeah me too,That is fucking good game

[@JasonUmbrellabird]

The only Cd I'd contemplate getting after some research is SINISTER HISTORY which apparently sounds more like "Black Sabbath played through a cement mixer". The trouble was that they never recreated this "live" sound in the studio. Subsequently this, and all their other albums - with the exception of the Sinister History's live tracks - sound far too dumbed down.

[@arsenal8884]

Does anyone own the full album? Is it worth picking up?

[@adamusein]

big studio

[@arsenal8884]

i assume that you can only get used copies on amazon?

[@elbobov13]

somebody up there just said "the first real black metal"..maybe they had black metal imagery,but these lyrics are straight up like dokken or winger. good music though.

[@JasonUmbrellabird]

Hi Dave, I think one way would be to put the word DOT where there's a dot in the address when you go to the users profile and send them a message. Incidentally can you tell us ow about SINISTER HISTORY? Also runs your MySpace? Thanks

[@mitchelldavis1343]

This song is pretty good. Do they have any other good songs?

[@TheLarryburns84]

their whole first album is good stuff.

[@tysmith7767]

Check out other nwobhm bands like blitzkrieg and diamond head

[@JasonUmbrellabird]

Did he write one of the reviews on Amazon?

[@PennyDreadful1]

Now why did she do that!

[@Alextheanarchist]

I have NO idea.

[@lightninsam]

Hey does anyone remember the Ruskin Arms????

[@falafeleater]

what's with the length of them drumsticks??
