Formed in 1979 in Stourbridge by Zeeb Parkes and Phil Cope, the band emerged from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal with a raw, doom-driven sound heavily influenced by Black Sabbath. Though initially overlooked, they went on to become cult pioneers of doom metal through releases like Death Penalty (1982), Friends of Hell (1983), and the original\u003cem\u003e Soviet Invasion!\u003c\/em\u003e EP, earning lasting recognition for their dark themes, controversial imagery, and enduring influence on the genre. This release captures the band at their most formative and uncompromising, presenting a definitive collection of their early output in one place. By bringing together these recordings in a fresh and collectible format, it offers both longtime fans and new listeners a chance to experience the origins of doom metal as it was first forged, loud, unpolished, and unmistakably heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flashback Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57814471901567,"sku":"9405519 1183882 C","price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/4576\/5282\/files\/lFB405519.jpg?v=1782145906","url":"https:\/\/flashback.co.uk\/products\/witchfinder-general-soviet-invasion-405519","provider":"Flashback Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
