BOLDER DAMN-MOURNING-

Sometimes there are albums that nessecerily doesn´t Count as Classic albums and for some reason were doomed to fail back in the day certainly Counts as the latter today.

This outfit from Fort Lauderdale US release their sole album in 1971 and should be consider both a Hard/Prog/Psych/stoner act as much as pioneers to the much later acclaimed Heavy/Doom/stoner rock movement rising during this period. This private pressing got a hollowed  production all over it and the the mixing is not the best ever. But the songs are strong with great guitar drive and full throttle on the vocals. The style vary abit from a Rolling stones catchy intro song to the deathdealing closing act of “Dead Meat”. This band is not for the faint of heart. This is perhaps one of the best kept secrets of Protodoom from The US from this time period. As if the four horsemen have arrived…

Whatabout the drummer, Robert Eaton?? This fellow shares the vocal duty with his brother and is doing a fine job! The most impressive thing is the furious drive put into every song and the striking abilities wich are very good. The hit ratio and Dynamics are solid with perfect timing as a bonus. To bad the drums sound like they do but there is nothing wrong with Mr. Eaton´s input. This is an impressive display of powerhouse drumming!! Very good job!! 🙂

So, If you got a soft spot for Hard/prog/psych/stoner rock album this is one of the best from the timeperiod. Great songs with catchy refrains and great harmony structure brings this album up several notches. There are great copies out there and several good reissues for a decent buck. This is perhaps not the first choice for a friday night sweetheart dinner getogether. You must spins this baby a couple of times on the turntable to get the grip of it´s greatness. But that´s just one of life´s best pleasures… 🙂
