Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed as a transatlantic power trio supergroup, the collective combined the immense riffing of Mountain's guitarist and drummer with the virtuosic bass work of Cream's celebrated rhythm section anchor. The resulting studio debut is a thunderous exercise in heavy blues rock, characterized by massive amplification, aggressive instrumental interplay, and commanding vocal performances.
