The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal is back this week: Angel Witch in the Wikimetal Top 3!
The English band, founded in 1977, was one of the driving forces behind the movement known as NWOBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal), with their first album, the self-titled Angel Witch from 1980, being of comparable importance to the creation of the movement, alongside legendary albums like Iron Maiden , On Through The Night (Def Leppard), and Wheels Of Steel (Saxon).
Despite never achieving commercial success, Angel Witch left a mark on the history of Heavy Metal that is now publicly recognized by people like Dave Mustaine.
The band's leader, Kevin Heybourne, remains active, and their latest album, As Above, So Below, was released in 2012.
