Rare '70s Proto-Doom Rock On 180g Vinyl LP!
Numbered, Limited Edition - Only 300 Copies!
Rare mid '70s downer-rock by south London based godless degenerates Warlord, featuring the tortured vocals of wildman singer Richard Roffey and eerie organ of leader Ivan Coutts. Soaked in a maelstrom of dark imagery this underground band's drug-crazed ravings are propelled by the hard-riffing guitar of pre-Stallion axeman John Alexander.
From the Sabbath style head-banger "Face Of The Sun" to the concluding witch burning ceremony of "The Ring", echoing early Black Widow, Warlord's frantic sound is both gripping and unnerving.
Also included is a pre-Warlord track "To The Devil A Daughter" by the Coutts-led outfit The Blacksmiths plus detailed band history. Head-bangtastic!
