-"'''Burning a Sinner'''" is a song by [[doom metal]] band [[Witchfinder General (band)|Witchfinder General]]. It was released as a single in 1981, which is their debut release. An alternate version was later featured on their first album, ''[[Death Penalty (album)|Death Penalty]]''. In 1996 the single was reissued by Old Metal Records with an the colors of the cover inverted. In 2004 Phoenix Records released a 12" that features both songs from the single as the B-side. The A-side features two songs from the ''[[Soviet Invasion (album)|Soviet Invasion]]'' EP. In 2007 the single was released on CD for the first time on the compilation ''Buried Amongst the Ruins''.The original single had a very muffled and distorted sound. It is said this was due to Paul Birch (proprietor of Heavy Metal Records) leaving the master tape on top of a large speaker at his offices before sending it to the cutting studio.
-The 'B' side Satans Children is quite of interest because that title was almost the bands name.
