Witchfinder General...Soviet Invasion

This is Withchfinder General's Soviet Invasion. If you have any NWOBHM I can probably get it for you just ask.

Lyrics:
Here we are afraid to give
Here we are afraid
Afraid to live
Largest nations in the world
They kill, atomic missile, I hear unto

The U.S.S.R. just fights us off
With their crazy words
For you know, you know the red stain hurts
Don't they know the next world war'll be the last one
The dying country on it's knees
Goes 'n drops the atom bomb
And that's the end of our world

What kind of country is Russia
People dying, truth doesn't lie
Communism's lost every meaning
'Cos capitalism's all in their mind

Warn these words I say what's the point in this life
Remember I say
This life

Really want to get more into this band. Does anyone know a good album to start with?

[TemplarsVision]

@Bigmak87 hey bro. there is rly only two studio albums, a live cd, and an ep if i recall correctly so just try and pick up one of their studio albums. they are both amazing!

[Rowsdower]

great stuff from 1982.

could you post "Rabies" and "RIP" Live from Witchfinder General too?

[TemplarsVision]

Yea it might be a while because the machine I use to convert my vinyl albums to mp3 broke so I gotta get another one. I'll let you know when I post em, probably be in about a week or so.

[squirehendrix]

Dude thank you for posting all of these. Im really getting into this band thanks to all these youtube videos of their songs.

[TemplarsVision]

Yea if you have any Witchfinder General requests just let me know I'll put em up for you. Thanks

Round about 1982.

[Smeschies]

Quit this shit, man! Metallica didn't invent the NWOBHM, they're two totally separate fucking entities!

[PositivelyBored]

@Artognou after all the communists manifestos overall premise was a capitalist society and destruction from within to free the proletariat from the elite and, the power of too much capital being in too few hands. Communism in it's purest form has been twisted by Capitalists due to it's abuses in the past...but it's past abuses are also a symptom of a society that struggles to self sustain once it's population arrives at a scale large enough to distort it's evolution.

@NecroFrost1990 Yeah, it's a good thing the UK gave us such phenomenal rock acts like Elvis, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Little Richard!

That being said, and jokes aside, I do agree that the UK bands like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Sabbath etc. were far beyond American acts of the same generation, save perhaps The Doors.

@TemplarsVision 2 eps i believe

[FaheyRobert]

Background acoustic guitar pokes through here and there, barely audible on crappy speakers. Very cool. WG is my favorite metal band. Haven't gotten tired of them after all these years. Vocalist is very odd but gives the band the quirkiness I like. Memorable guitar soloing and very satisfying growl. It's the Sabbath formula but with a twist.

[ChristianU2ubeh]

@Smeschies Who's the retard that said that? And if they 'created' NWOBHM, why are they American, and why do they cite their influences as NWOBHM?

[MultiTomification]

this should be NATO's fucking official anthem

[Artognou]

I think this song is actually commenting on the fact that Marxism in it's initial form has lost it's true meaning and intention and has been hijacked by criminal minds, hellbent on destruction.

[Mezocosm]

mustaine... so busted

[MCARM666]

@crowbarftw And they were right! Any true commies would say it.

Anyway, a great song from a great Band. =)
