Angel Witch - Free Man

From the 1980 album "Angel Witch"

I've been locked away for all these years
Now I can see the light of day
Things have changed a lot since I was last out here
I guess that's the way things, way things go

Now I'm a freeman again
I don't give a damn what happens in there
Now I'm through, what a life
Because now I'm a freeman

As I look around I couldn't remember my old home
Now there's a tower block in its way
I remember all my friends and my wife
They don't want to know me anymore
They wouldn't listen, they didn't understand
They accused me of a crime I didn't commit
It was some other guy, but it wasn't me
They wouldn't give in, they wouldn't believe me

But now I'm a freeman again
I couldn't give a damn what happens in there
Now I'm through, what a life
Because now I'm a freeman

Sad not too many people know this awesome band.

They surely are one of my fav's!

the intros messing with my brains

@jedinightwing Right, but for the people who know who they are, they're held in high regards. One of the top NWOBHM bands in many people's eyes. Certainly one of my favorite bands.

@pryletoncyo They weren't nobodies, they were hand-picked from other bands. I'm not exactly sure which guys were in at which point, but he's had Exodus, Laaz Rockit, & Heathen members.

@masterofmetallica09 I miss playing this album. My CD skips to no end. I think I just played it too many times, haha. Great album though - one of the best metal albums of all time.

Am I hearing vinyl scratches?

[jedinightwing]

@pryletoncyo I agree. thanks for the reply...still...most bands, if you can stay together long enough to get to the studio, deserve a chance.

@jedinightwing They had a less than stellar career. In 1990 the vocalist toured the US with a bunch of nobodys he recruited. I've got the live album. (It was on sale for less than the price to make it some 10 years ago). I liked the songs, so when the re-release of Angel Witch came, I bought it straight away. Their first album is magnificient. What could have been is a question you shouldn't ask, be happy with what has been. Great music.

great band!

I'm open to being corrected, but I'm sure that this band was the least successfull band/artist ever to get into the UK charts. Great song and definately an underated band. This song is at the very least equal to any track off of Maiden's debut album.

Thanks for posting. Classic track.
