The Witch Trials was a rock supergroup combining English and American musicians, established in 1980 as a unique project featuring Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), Adrian Borland (The Sound), Morgan Fisher (Mott the Hoople), and Christian Lunch. Their output consisted solely of a self-titled EP.
The Witch Trials EP
The EP, recorded in England, came out in 1981 through Subterranean Records with very limited marketing efforts. Biafra referred to it as "the most evil record I've ever been associated with."
Reception
According to Spin, Biafra's spontaneous vocal delivery presented surreal and sociopolitical content atop electronic backdrops, characterizing the work as raw and homemade, indicative of its underground origins.
