Cult NWOBHM band, formed in Stourbridge, England in 1979.
Heavily influenced by Black Sabbath, Witchfinder General - named after the 1968 Vincent Price film - are remembered more for their controversial sleeve artwork rather than their music.
The group disbanded following the release of their second album Friends Of Hell and the following decade saw the band recognised as pioneers of the Doom Metal style. In 2006 they reformed minus vocalist Zeeb Parkes and released their third full-length album in 2008.
