1967/ 1976
Interesting album of Proto Prog metal, sung in Italian and played with passion. The songs are very technical due to the fact that the musicians are all viruoso and maestro not only in Italy in their respective instruments (and "Cucciolo" is a great friend of Mike Portnoy [with a very deep mutual respect]).
Unfortunately, "Arrowhead" has aged badly, because amateur production and ugly cover. Because, in hindsight, the music is very current (see on You tube and the new version of the title track sung in English). Upon closer inspection, is the lack of singing in English and a real singer (something common in the 70's in Italy), another flaw of the album. In any case, the aggression and the technical difficulty of the songs are, even today, clear and pleasant.
If I had to find a group to approach to Osage Tribe... I do not know. I should get to the Prog Metal band. But I could not make a good combination. Perhaps first Rush would be joined to Osage Tribe.
That said, "Arrowhead" is an album that I recommend without reservation to all those who are looking for genuine and innovative albums from those produced in the 70's. Enjoy!
