Album Notes & Community Reviews

Signed to a major American imprint despite their British origins, this quintet mixes portentous, biblically inspired lyricism with heavy, swirling organ-driven rock. The gloomy atmosphere and harmony vocals provide a uniquely esoteric flavor to the late-sixties transition toward heavier amplification.
