Witchfynde Influences
We were unaware at the time that Witchfynde were influencing bands such as Metallica and Bauhaus, we were just happy to be part of the NWOBHM and making great music such as the highly acclaimed album Give ‘Em Hell! Witchfynde have been called the progenitors of Black Metal but we were much more than this. Unto The Ages of The Ages was more early Rush style prog rock. One reviewer said our influences were from Black Sabbath to Abba!!
What are your thoughts on this?
Here’s proof that Witchfynde influenced Metallica
EVOLVALUTION LYRICS
Shaz wrote the majority of the lyrics for Evolvalution and she has been asked many times by fans and friends where she gets the inspiration for her lyrics and this is her answer.
“People often ask what inspires me to write about the different themes my songs represent.
A small proportion of people, know exactly what they mean and where they come from.
Why?
They are the ones that is some period of their life have felt worthless, alone, and that they do not fit in or belong.
They are the ones I write for, the ones who’s voices are drowned out by the onslaught of the others, the ones who are always pushed into the back ground, the ones who become invisible.
Because they are beautiful, and deserve to know they are not alone”.
