Iron Claw - hard rock band from Dumfries, Scotland. Formed in 1969 by bass-guitarist Alex Wilson. Broke up in 1974. Reformed in 2010. First studio album issued in 2011. But Iron Claw finally broked in 2013.
"...On January 15th 1971 at Edinburgh Empire, Iron Claw met Black Sabbath after their concert, and Sabbath agreed to listen to a copy of the Claw tape, which was duly supplied to them on January 18th 1971 after their Newcastle City Hall concert. ...Towards the Spring of 1971, word filtered back that Sabbath’s management was “unhappy” with the soundalike Iron Claw, and a veiled threat of litigation was mentioned if this first attempt was released".
