Give ‘Em Hell

The grinning goat and (right side up?) five-pointed star on the cover probably scared parents in 1980 but Witchfynde’s satanic shtick wasn’t nearly as scary as Venom’s. Inspired more by upbeat classic and pub rock (which makes sense, since the band formed in 1973), they felt more like spiritual siblings to Saxon despite their interest in the occult. While they dove into the spooky stuff on the epic “Into the Ages of the Ages,” the jaunty rockers like “Ready to Roll” and the title track were the true ones for the ages.
