"Death Penalty", but I do love "Friends of Hell" as well. I still haven't heard "Resurrected", but I've been told that it's good!

 

[LG]

Sweaty told me about this band a couple years ago, but I don't have any of their albums so I can't vote...I suppose I should remedy that oversight.

 

[LOU/REALM]

Loved the NWOBHM scene...I have lots of albums etc by Witchfynde,Angelwitch etc but never really got into this band...so I will also have to miss out on a vote.

 

[2LITTLETIME]

first 2 are amazing-lg you must check em

Death Penalty but Friends of Hell is also awesome. The so called come back leaves a lot be desired however.

Bump..thread fixed.

listening to Death Penalty while I fixed stuff….I like it. It’s not very technically advanced for an album of the ’80’s. the shriek-like vocals are a bit off putting but fits the raw, riffage.

Now listening to Friends of Hell, it’s pretty good. kinda raw sounding, but that’s ok. the doomy riffs are excellent. Again, the vocals are off putting..but the lyrics are more matured than the first album.

Rounding out my night with Resurrected. This album is hit and miss. The new vocalist is terrible. The sound isn’t as raw as the first 2 albums but the chemistry that made the band click is lacking…it sounds ’off’ at times.
