Digitally remastered reissue of their debut album first issued in 1980. It draws heavily upon satanic and witchcraft imagery with the band's sound displaying a fiercely dark mixture of gothic melody mixed with weighty guitar riffs which are comparable to vintage Black Sabbath. Although never a huge commercial success, the album brought the band a loyal underground following and later inspired the emerging San Francisco Bay Area thrash metal scene with bands like Metallica and Testament citing Angel Witch as a major influence on their musical direction. This classic is widely regarded among fans as the band's finest hour and the re-mastered edition adds a raft of bonus tracks including the single, "Loser" along with several b-sides. Also included is the track 'Baphomet' which appeared on the legendary Metal for Muthas album, as well as a BBC Friday Rock show session which was recorded in March 1980. Castle. 2005.
