Another mini-classic from the doom-laden German thrasher rockers. Euro metal at its peak in the mid to late '80s and as dank as a castle dungeon. 'Witch Hunter' is harsh, thrashy, nocturnal and searing hot with its crashing cymbals, hyper guitars and OTT vocal attack. Pure metal for the masses even if the masses didn't get to grips with it. No real variety on offer but who needs it when the metal on offer is so cavernous and razor sharp ? Grave Digger never really followed in the successful footsteps of Accept, but for me they are far more of a cult act who are still going strong in their metal and imagery. A good album cover is always a decent starting point and by the time 'Shoot Her Down' thumps you in the skull, you'll be begging for more staright heavy metal thunder. Good stuff.Tuesday 25 January 2011
