About the album

"Death Penalty," the seminal album by Witchfinder General, stands as a landmark in the Heavy Metal genre. Released originally in 1982, this reissue captures the raw and unapologetic essence that echoes through its tracks. With a sound that merges classic rock influences with a doom-laden atmosphere, the album encapsulates the band's pioneering spirit. The instrumental work is particularly distinguished by its gritty guitar riffs and relentless rhythm section, driving the narrative of each song forward with uncompromising intensity.

The lyrical themes traverse dark and controversial subjects, resonating with fans who craved an unfiltered portrayal of heavy metal's more sinister side. From the haunting opener "Invisible Hate" to the climactic "R.I.P.," Witchfinder General crafts a soundscape that remains influential decades later. The vocals deliver an earnestness that complements the robust instrumentation, creating an immersive experience for listeners drawn to metal's darker aesthetics.
