[Magic]

Primevil ~ Smokin’ Bats at Campton’s (1974)
Hard rock, proto-metal, psychedelic rock USA
700 West Records

The Band:

• Dave Campton – lead vocals, harp, percussion
• Larry Lucas – electric and acoustic guitar, vocals
• Jay Wilfong – electric guitar, screams
• Mark Sipe – bass
• Mel Cupp – drums

The one and only album by Primevil. There was a single released in 1972 “Too Dead to Live”. It has been said they burned the master for the single because it sucked. I can’t find it anywhere!

This album is a cult classic for those who collect proto-metal. The heavy bluesy riffs and stoner friendly grooves are a must have.

The album cover looks spooky, but the music contains zero evil…….
