Early British Proto metal band, Edgar Broughton Band, is a vastly underrated and unknown band, that really does not get the recognition it deserves.
The music here ranges from great 70's hard rock/heavy metal songs, to more extended Prog songs.
My favorite thing about this band is the vocals by Edgar broughton. It is very remincent of Captain Beefheart, and it works perfectly with the music here. This band also has a very Black Sabbath attitude, but with more humorous and political lyrics, than Sabbath. But they also have some very disturbing songs too.
The first song Vibrations is a very psychedelic song, with some funky sounding guitar. It is worth mentioning, that on my cd, there are two bleeped out words, which is highly annoying, but I cannot hold this against the band. The following song is a great Prog song, albeit very, very strange, which has some story about this talking moth and some boy named peter. This song has a interesting middle section where, following the moth telling the boy (peter) to grow, a bunch of voices come in making fun of peter, and calling him names and what not, then comes this great heavy groove, before this and the voices fade away and give into a very Black Sabbath sound, yet it is worth pointing out here, that technically, this band is not really influenced by Black Sabbath, since EBB had a full studio album out about a year before Black Sabbath. This is followed by a great heavy bluesy song, with more strange lyrics that this band likes.
I hope I have got you sufficiently interested into checking out this amazing lost band, so i will try not to spoil any more of the crazyness that follows in this album, suffice to say it gets weirder, creepier, and more humourous.
I also have the bonus cd, which adds there most known song, Out Demons Out, and six more amazing songs that did not make the cut for this album, yet they are just as good as the songs that did make it onto the album.
