Re: Proto - Metal
I can't find any YouTube Videos of this UK band that formed in 1969 .Forced to describe their sound (as I am haha ) I would call them a strange mix of progressive rock, Led Zeppelin (Guitarist Vernon Pereira played in Band of Joy w/ Robert Plant before this ) and Proto-Doom . I find them quite interesting even with the weird over the top vocal styling .This is a band that would evolve into the first incarnation of Judas Priest ( though none of the o members remain today ) They were on the verge of signing a major record deal when a tragic auto accident on the way back from a gig killed three members .
Their album, POSSESSED ~ Exploration, should have been released in 1971
but wasn't released until the 90's. I really like this stuff alot now but must admit I thought it sucked years ago before I really got into it after probably the 5th listen .
