| STORMWITCH-Walpurgis
night
Line-Up: STORMWITCH are
definitely one of the best, most important and most unique sounding
German Heavy-Metal band of all times. The story of the Witch dates
back to the year 1979 when the band was founded under the name „Lemon
Sylvan“. After several line up changes, the band decided to
change their name into STORMWITCH and in 1983 they recorded their
first 4-Track Demo Tape, containing „Cave of Steenfoll“,
„Priest of Evil“, „Walpurgis night“ and „Flour
in the wind“. These four killer tracks immediately brought them
a 5 album deal with GAMA records and shortly after that they entered
the Spygel studios, to record their legendary debut album „Walpurgis
night“. In contrast to the declining NWoBHM, the band played
his own teutonic style of Heavy-Metal in a fresh, unique and vital
way. The whole album was recorded in only 8 days live in the recording
room and the recordings were exactly finished at WALPURGIS NIGHT and
the album has been released shortly after that in 1984. |
