Witchfinder General's second album Friends of Hell musically and stylistically picked up right about where the first album Death Penalty left off - Sabbath-inspired psychedelic stoner-doom metal that's actually fairly upbeat and energetic. However, the Sabbath flair of the riffs is a bit downplayed as more of a 'modern' (for 1982) tinge comes in, and the songwriting occasionally shows more elaborate arrangements creeping in here and there. Also, great leaps are made lyrically - instead of an album worshipping 'sex, drugs, rock, and beer' with the occasional 'evil' track thrown in for good measure, the band touches on some of everything - anthems to youth, songs about darkness, suicide, the occult, and even a ballad all show the band's progress (as does the album cover, which features now FOUR pair of bare breasts, not just one). Basically, if you liked the first album or are at all a fan of Sabbath-style or psychedelic metal, you'll like this album.
