As Above, So Below by Angel Witch is an excellent record. It just seems to get better and better with every listen. Powerful riff-eronics and wizard songs the standouts for your humble narrator are the likes of Witching Hour, Dead Sea Scrolls, Horla* and Brainwashed.
Do you know what As Above... sounds like to me?
As a proper seamless successor to the timeless 1980 debut album. It's really that good. The point I'm trying to make is that this, the record is a perfect example of classic Heavy Metal that is not trying to be anything else. Beautiful.
*(le Horla anyone?)

Sounds like it's doing exactly what is says on the tin.
not heard anything by them thanks for the heads up
It is a great album and as you say gets better with each listen. It's not quite as brilliant as their debut though.
Real heavy metal seems to be making a comeback so lets hope the mighty Angel Witch finally get the success they deserve. In my opinion they should be up there with Iron Maiden!
Steve - It is a class follow up album
Anon - you are welcome, enjoy!
Toast - I think it is a great album, and with tracks like the Dead Sea Scrolls. Witching Hour and the subline The Horla I've been riveting my ears with it for the past 3 months!
