WARPIG-WARPIG-

As a band of it´s time and yet totally on their own, this Canadian outfit released their sole album in 1970 on the independent label Fonthill records. This is a mystified Prometal/Hard/psych rock gem that will light up the even darkest corner of the forgotten musicpond! Talk about shadowplay.. This is some serious plying, way Before it´s time and the production just follow suite. This is a very good record!!

There are strong songs on the album and the courage to take sideways in their Music profile just lift´s this album up several notches. The unaccidental Deep Purple influence are just sign of times and some the passages are decades Before hitting the album charts with other acts. This is brilliant!!! 🙂

Whatabout the drummer, Terry Hook?? Well this is obviously not the best drummer in Canada and there are some more shortcomings. The striking ability are fine but the hitratio and Dynamics are to soft and there are a lack of drive in the harder songs. The dry mixing sound gives you an oppertunity to listen closely but there are few highlights and then again maybe this is what was available??…..Another drummer would have made a big difference.

To sum things up, this is Another of those obscure treasures from Canada and few albums can measure up to this goldmine from the timeperiod. Prometal/Hard/psych fans already certainly  knows of it´s excistence but for all other “Psychhead´s” this is something to get your hands on. Great reissues are out there so don´t bother to hurry, there´s a copy for you too… 🙂
