Background information über 'Friends Of Hell'

Witchfinder General returns with "Friends Of Hell", a crushing testament to the enduring power of doom metal that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly current. The album showcases the band's signature heavy, grinding approach while incorporating subtle modern production touches that enhance rather than diminish their classic sound. Tracks like "Love On Smack" and the title track "Friends Of Hell" demonstrate the band's ability to craft memorable hooks within their characteristically dense, atmospheric framework. The album's pacing is expertly managed, building tension through slower, more contemplative pieces like "Requiem For Youth" before unleashing the full weight of their sonic assault.

The inclusion of "Friends Of Hell (Live)" as a bonus track adds an authentic rawness that perfectly complements the studio material, giving fans a taste of the band's legendary live presence. Songs like "Shadowed Images" and "I Lost You" reveal Witchfinder General's more introspective side without sacrificing the crushing heaviness that defines their sound. The album flows seamlessly from the opening salvo through to the haunting "Outro", creating a cohesive listening experience that rewards both casual listeners and devoted followers of the doom metal genre.

For fans of:
Black Sabbath, Candlemass, Saint Vitus, Pentagram, Cathedral and Electric Wizard
