In search of Angel Witch. Sounds like some kind of Disney movie that would star an 8-year old Dakota Fanning. It would be about a young orphaned girl who would travel to an enchanted lake to summon the Angel Witch to bring her mother back to life. This is not at all what Angel Witch is about, but I can dream.
Angel Witch is a heavy metal band that I thoroughly enjoy. They formed in the late 70’s and have been producing some bad-ass music. I always feel like a tool when I say bad-ass. Well, I have one of Angel Witch’s albums, Screamin’ n’ Bleedin’, but this CD doesn’t compare to their self-titled album. How could I not want an album called Angel Witch by the band Angel Witch where the first song on the album is called Angel Witch? And get this, the chorus, wait for it…
“You're an angel witch, you're an angel witch/You're an angel witch, you're an angel witch” Really? It’s so simple and that is why I love it. No sugar-coated, metaphor-drenched, overwrought or over-thought out lyrics. I appreciate it for its simplicity.
For the last 6 months I have been on the hunt for this album. I’ve visited 4 HMV’s, Sonic Boom and Rotate This and no luck. I decided to finally ask the dude at Rotate This to order the album for me even though I absolutely hate ordering things. I don’t like giving stores my phone number and then waiting for them to call me when they have it in. It means that I always have to have my phone on and they’ll likely call at the most inopportune time…like when the world is ending or when I’m having dinner with friends. I’m desperate though. They have my number and they have my information. I mean, Joe Nobody could walk into the store off the street and ask for the numbers of all the people waiting for CD’s and then proceed to call them and find out where they live and kill them. Yes I’m talking death. This situation is unlikely but you can’t spell unlikely without likely, which therefore makes the situation is extremely likely and therefore definite. That's my logic and I'm sticking to it.
Soon I will have the CD in my hands. I look very forward to it. This post makes me seem like a square. Do people say square? Probably not.
