Album Notes & Community Reviews
Constructed around a brutal, distorted power chord riff, this explosive track effectively birthed the heavy rock sound. Achieved by intentionally slashing a speaker cone, the raw, driving aggression of the recording deeply influenced everything from garage rock to the eventual rise of heavy metal.
