Witchfinder General's second album "Friends of Hell" musically and stylistically picked up right about where the first album "Death Penalty" left off - Sabbath-inspired psychedelic stoner-doom metal that's actually fairly upbeat and energetic. However, I think "Friends of Hell" shows more musical growth. The only lineup change from the first album is the replacement of bassist Woolfy Trope with Rod Hawkes, whose more adept basswork also helps the band get out of the 'Sabbath' rut. Graham Ditchfield's drumming, Phil Cope's great riffs.

Friends Of Hell Lyrics. their words of evil Brainwashed into their minds The sacrificial dagger 'Tis placed in hands which bind Devouring human flesh just to spill his blood like rain Satanists rage against mankind Take away his brain They've sold their souls to Satan Their witchcraft it is obscene To be a dedicated disciple To Satan this does mean But I am here, They see. me and they freeze I shout the words of sacred scrolls on my knees A steaming stench, their flesh it runs like oil I hear their master shouting from under the soil.

W. GENERAL's masterpiece. The first LP "Death Penalty" is more well known but "Friends Of Hell" is W. GENERAL's heaviest material. The songwriting is more complex and it just makes you wish their was a third LP!!!
Xangeo Xangeo
Witchfinder General = Black Sabbath + Benny Hill(sorry this is not a comment on a vinyl pressing)

My copy turned from ultra clear into brown over the years, even more than the one pictured here. I believe this could be some kind of chemical reaction

Goodbadmusics explanation sounds plausible, but my first thought was that the record in the pictures is a clear vinyl record that has been discouloured by the sunlight after sitting on a wall for years. I suppose we've all seeen that happen to pic discs and clear vinyl shapes. I would imagine that a clear vinyl record with black in it would turn out clear with a black marbled effect instead of brownish, but I've never worked in a pressing plant so I can't be sure. But I have a couple of coloured ones with that marble effect although they should have been in a solid colour. The explanation I've got is that they are the first ones made in a new colour after a black colour run when there was still some black vinyl left in the machines.

I have a quite similar copy, although it's darker and looks more like "Coke".

There is no yellow vinyl version of "Friends of Hell". The photos of the alleged "yellow" version show a clear vinyl with some black vinyl mixed in, as it happens when in the pressing plant, they change color. Sometimes these mixed colors are thrown out, sometimes (especially when smaller quantities were pressed), they are kept - the pressing plant normally asks the producer if he wants to have them. This is clearly the case here. There is no yellow vinyl press of "Friends of Hell", but some mixed colors, that look more very, very light brownish.
