Warthur
Although its followup (Friends of Hell) wasn't so impressive, Witchfinder General's debut album Death Penalty was both a major influence on the doom metal scene and a really entertaining listen in its own right. Resurrected, unfortunately, shows little sign of being either. Combining a poor vocal performance from Gary Martin with humdrum Sabbath mimicry with little to none of the creativity or NWOBHM embellishments evident on Death Penalty, the album is too mired in a retro sound to serve as anything other than a nostalgia piece, and it doesn't even work well as that since it doesn't really stand up to the band's original albums.
