Sahg: “Vol 1″
Reissue of the superbly angry 1990 release. The album’s atmospheric intro alone is enough to set it apart from other Sabbath-esque product, but the music is even more of a pleasant surprise, with “Repent” utilizing the wobbly vocal effects of Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” to a better end, opening a wide, deathly aural space which they fill with Trouble-like guitar passages and real, no-kiddin-around lead work. “Executioner Undead” leaves behind it a deathly impression of “Children of the Grave” augmented with a piece of mummy-metal riffage which was, one would gather, stolen in later years by none other than Nile. Bands like Sword and - dare we the sacrilege of it - St Vitus can only dream of writing tyrannosaurus-attack metal this cool. Order from Amazon.com
