Доп. информация:

This California band offer unashamed retro hard rock with heavy use (and abuse) of growling Hammond organ, fat, juicy, heavy guitar riffs, plodding, booming bass, multiple mellotrons and lots of other unmentionable keyboard artefacts. With its mix of pop, glam and prog rock elements, their music features aggressive experimental passages with the dark, psychedelic sound of early 70's metal combined with elements from the 90's. The band consists of vocalist/keyboardist Damon Fox (a terrific vocalist who prefers a moderate range to banshee wails or toadlike croaking); Ace Mark on lead, rhythm and slide guitars; Duffy Snowhill on bass; and Steve "Froth" Frothingham on drums and gong.

Their first EP, "Closer to Doom", was recorded in Hollywood in 1998. Apart from the production, this could have been recorded in 1973: nothing over six minutes, genuinely good songs with BEATLES-like melodies and harmonies, heavy Hammond-driven stuff and nasty Mellotron on just about every track. After relocating to Scandinavia where audiences seemed more receptive to their brand of retro-rock, the same album was released in Sweden with 4 extra tracks. In 2000, they released their first official full-length cd, the highly praised "Money Machine", and in 2003 they came with the album "Hex", where they concentrate more than ever on the "BLACK SABBATH-with-more-tron" sound. Good, groove-driven stuff that is a true blast from the past. Their latest assault goes by the name of "Cheat The Gallows".

If you like BLACK SABBATH, LED ZEPPELIN, DEEP PURPLE, URIAH HEEP and KING CRIMSON, you won't be able to help yourself head banging and humming along with these guys' material. Highly recommended.
