Witchfinder General
Death Penalty Picture Disc
Limited 140 Gram Picture Disc. Death Penalty is the debut studio album by British doom metal band Witchfinder General. It was released in 1982 on Heavy Metal Records. Unlike many of their New Wave of British Heavy Metal peers who injected their music with a certain punk attitude, Witchfinder General drank strictly from the Black Sabbath fountain. Their 1982 debut, Death Penalty, is a celebration of all things Sabbath - from the plodding rhythms of Burning a Sinner and R.I.P. to the early-Sabs intro of No Stayer, and even the band's rocking Paranoid knock-off, Free Country.
