Warthur
With a cover that could have sat equally happily on a classic-era Vertigo label release - or perhaps a 1970s horror novel cover or a Hammer movie poster - Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats nail their colours to the nostalgia mast on this debut album. Presenting a sound which is several notches heavier, trippier, and more extreme than anything in wide circulation during the late 1960s/early 1970s era their aesthetic is meant to evoke but at the same time sounding like it *might* have emerged from there - say, perhaps from the basement at the Manson ranch - it's a confident heavy psych workout which answers the question "What if Deep Purple were as heavy as Black Sabbath and occult-obsessed as Black Widow?"
