Black Metal is actually a lot like gangster rap. Between it and neu-metal it's sucked out the fun as well as the brains. The musicianship might be passable, but the songwriting is confused to generic. It's less music, more a mass support group for the singer's fake problems. The working class elements are gone, and so has the history. I'm not surprised BM'ers usually have no idea what "I.N.R.I." refers to, even though that should be cause for a beatdown if BM was all it pretends to be.
I'd better leave one more message, because Black Metal fans are worse than Juggalos when it comes to flaming. I don't mean flaming historical landmarks in Norway either. Most of this alleged Satanism and Viking-fetish is neo-Nazism in disguise. Racist or not, black metal is still based around pretentious, authoritarian personalities with no sense of humor. They feud for money rappers, make videos that look like "Marilyn Manson: The Video Game", and dress like KISS attending a LARP.
Another thing many fans of "Sacrifice" don't know is that Black Widow could, and did, play metal. One of the best early metal songs is on their 2nd album, "Wait Until Tomorrow". It's one of the fastest "heavy" songs to that point; it could slot into any NWOBHM comp from 10 years later. Smashing band! Put it all on the line for their art; they probably received more death threats than the Sex Pistols. Black Widow got loads of press, but the only time they made money was in Italy with Yes.
The idea behind this album seems more to exploit/celebrate the hippy interest in pre-Christian religions. I've never attended a druidic sacrifice, but I doubt black metal was the soundtrack. Since literal Satanism asserts Christianity is basically correct, it's not that interesting. Lucifer gets chained in some eternal prison (NOT sheol, or the human afterlife) early in the Bible, and New Testament references to "Satan" referred to a generic "adversary". Christians ought to read the Bible.
It's routine for metal fans to say they appreciated the sentiments, but felt "deceived" by their idea that Satan=Metal and vice-versa. Black Widow's main influence was the band Family...they were both from Coventry, an industrial town in the west midlands near Birmingham (where Sabbath, Priest, Witchfinder General ect. started). a good heavy band at the time called Wicked Lady...but excepting a couple NWOBHM bands (Wild Boys, Nightime Flyer) it's never been a metal town.
Lol, all You black metal fanboys...satanism isn't about grinding chickens and growling like a drowning Donald Duck. You should get your act straight and start listening to some decent music like this.
@BigBadCoyote Black metal is decent music, bands like Emperor and Sigh and great songwriters and musicians. Don't just dismiss it because you have a blinkered view of what black metal is. Black metal is many things, not just 'grinding chickens and growling like a drowning Donald Duck'. It's YOU that has been shown to be the fool.
LOL black metal is good and all but since when does music have to be black metal to be satanic?
This predates any form of old school BM by years. This is just good proggy rock, with a lyrical preoccupation with the Occult and satan. Not that that effects the genre
I had the CBS Fill Your head album where I first heard BW compared to the rest of the album it was scary stuff. I'm sure I saw them at a festival at keele in '69 with the Grateful Dead, Family Quintescence and others.
Wow! This sounds like the satanic version of Jethro Tull. In a recent Radio Anthracide interview Clive Jones said that Black Widow was banned from coming to the USA because of negative publicity involving Charles Manson. Apparently Black Sabbath was sent to the states instead because they denied any involvement in satanism and such. This is great music by Clive and his band. I want to hear the new Black Widow album too.
@pasithespider By the way,Clive Jones himself (his Youtube channel is drpesky) recently told me in my inbox that he found out that he has cancer for which he requires surgery. We should all wish Clive a speedy recovery.
@BBINGHAM032352 If you haven't already, you can listen to the entire new Black Widow on rdio.com (its like a hybrid of the words "audio" and "radio". Pronounced "AR-dee-o")
Actually, Astaroth (also Ashtaroth, Astarot, and Asteroth), in demonology, is a Crowned Prince of Hell. He is a male figure named after the Canaanite goddess Ashtoreth.
Ashtaroth, variant of Ishtar, and from there we get Easter. Odd how this major christian holiday takes it's name from a Babylonian goddess who was demonized by christianity. Ishtar descended to the underworld for three days, was killed and returned to life. Suddenly, christianity doesn't sound so original.

What a load of bollocks people write about this song. In the 70s it was trendy to sing this type of song. I had this album from new, its not about the crap some younger people think. It sold music to people like me, nothing else.
A Wiccan is a witch who practices White Witchcraft - by their admission - not mine! Black Widow had dealings with Alex Sanders who claimed that he was King of the Witches - some Ego! Ashtaroth - according to Sumerian legend was a Male God - his Avatar was used by the group who invented Cloud in Final Fantasy.

This was really fun. And silly. And awesome. I don't even like black metal, although this falls far from that genres current state. Most of all this is silly. Every time I hear flute in a metal song it makes my smile and fondly remember the seventies when bands weren't so locked into standard lineups.
@Tettuli Astaroth is a Crowned Prince of Hell. He is a male figure named after the Canaanite goddess Ashtoreth . even then the name was ultimately derived from that of 2nd millennium BC Phoenician goddess Astarte, an equivalent of the Babylonian Ishtar, and the earlier Sumerian Inanna.
@BoricuaManhood Hi, it's a long concept story - a highly theatrical performance. A kind of rock opera - that's why Lady Astaroth appears on the latter half of this live show (which lasts for 56 minutes, by the way). The dark themes were beauatifully choreographed. Black Magic themes appear on all of the songs ("Sacrifice" LP and "Sacrifice" live show) but there's a reason for that.
Well I'm blowed, never expected to see this on YT, must be 40 yrs+ since I heard of this band. Saw them um, in N london I think ? A place called the Acid Palace ?? Went with a crowd all tripping out of our skulls, drove there and back from S london..
Oh to be seventeen and do it all again. Not in the 21st century though, no style, no class, no soul, no culture.
@emperorsdragon I enjoyed reading your comment up until the last sentence. That's a pretty extreme statement to type. But hey, you're old so I understand. I bet your generation's parents were thinking the same thing when you and your generation were teenagers/young men and woman. But you're wrong, and you need to recgonize that. I for one have created my own style, class and culture. And I have more soul than you can ever handle buddy.

@rejrockmetal It really depends on the band, lots of black metal are very fascinating and their lyrics are interesting. But if you're refering to mayhem then I agree, Black Widow is a lot better.
I think this is one of the Lost Performance of Beat Club. Also if you every watch Free on the Beat Club with there song All Right Now it is almost same effect in this video
My dad was there, and as he was walking in, this is the song that was playing, and the only one he can clearly remember! I'd sent him an isle of wight documentary clip on youtube, he asked me to find a video from the isle of wight of this song, and thats why i'm looking now. True story!
I have a friend block? Didn't know that. I barely use youtube... Anyhow, that is good news, however are there any places in the states that carry it? I would like to not have to pay an arm and a leg for shipping. Thanks for the reply Clive. See you at the Sabbath.
Great to know memory not playing tricks!! I was working in the cloakroom at this time -3d to put your coat in - as my mum was working in the very small bar there!!!
Many thanks for posting this - I saw them play this live at the Students' Union in Cardiff 40 years ago! I saw a lot of good bands around that time but this was an outstanding gig. This track was longer, louder and completely mesmerising (at least for a 16 year old!) A much underrated band.
Thanks for the nice comment, it would be wonderful to find some more Black Widow pics taken during gigs. Anyway, the whole DVD is fantastic and the NEW Black Widow studio album will appear soon!
this is new to me love the flute. a jethro tull meets alice cooper/arthur brown thing. frightening for the fact it is melodic and easily understood. unlike most of the black metal of today filled with gutteral vocal and lack of melody or musical structure.
"Exclamation Mark" (1969) under the name PESKY GEE! Under the name BLACK WIDOW: "Return To The Sabbat" (recorded in 1969, released in 1998), "Sacrifice" (1970), "Black Widow" (1971), "Black Widow III" (1971) and "Black Widow IV" (recorded in 1972, relesed in 1997).
The DVD/CD "Demons Of The Night Gather To See" (Live film from 1970) appeared in 2008 and the REUNION ALBUM has been recorded and will be released soon!
One of history's most under rated bands!

I think this is one of the Lost Performance of Beat Club. Also if you every watch Free on the Beat Club with there song All Right Now it is almost same effect in this video

Only in Beat Club, Germany you could have psychedelic video effects.

My dad was there, and as he was walking in, this is the song that was playing, and the only one he can clearly remember! I'd sent him an isle of wight documentary clip on youtube, he asked me to find a video from the isle of wight of this song, and thats why i'm looking now. True story!

The footage of Isle Of Wight exists but it's a hard road to have it released

I have a friend block? Didn't know that. I barely use youtube... Anyhow, that is good news, however are there any places in the states that carry it? I would like to not have to pay an arm and a leg for shipping. Thanks for the reply Clive. See you at the Sabbath.

Great to know memory not playing tricks!! I was working in the cloakroom at this time -3d to put your coat in - as my mum was working in the very small bar there!!!

Many thanks for posting this - I saw them play this live at the Students' Union in Cardiff 40 years ago! I saw a lot of good bands around that time but this was an outstanding gig. This track was longer, louder and completely mesmerising (at least for a 16 year old!) A much underrated band.

Thanks for the nice comment, it would be wonderful to find some more Black Widow pics taken during gigs. Anyway, the whole DVD is fantastic and the NEW Black Widow studio album will appear soon!

this is new to me love the flute. a jethro tull meets alice cooper/arthur brown thing. frightening for the fact it is melodic and easily understood. unlike most of the black metal of today filled with gutteral vocal and lack of melody or musical structure.

weird, when you think these guys probably influenced black metal (lyrically, at least).
