Witchfinder General

One of the most beloved NWOBHM bands of all time, Witchfinder General was also one of the few bands of that era to opt for the classic early Black Sabbath dirge rather than the more uptempo metal of most of their countrymen. They recorded only two albums in their short career, the absolute classic Death Penalty and the capable followup Friends Of Hell, the albums receiving widespread fan approval not only for the great music but also the infamous album covers, featuring topless model Joanne Latham (a friend of the band) and her cohorts under the guise of tortured would-be witches. The original incarnation didn't last long, as the band was done by 1984, but a modified lineup emerged in 2006 and a final album, Resurrection, came out in 2008.
