KRAUTROCK RARITIES out on 180 g. VINYL
DIES IRAE – FIRST OW LP 026
This was a great `heavy progressive` quartet from Saarbrucken. Their first and only album (entitled First) was recorded in just two days (during
June 1971) in the Star Studio, Hamburg and produced by the then Pilz` label manager Jurgen Schmeisser. Konrad Plank was (as ever) engineering. Musically they were inspired
by several British heavy rockers. The harmonica gave many tracks a bluesy feeling, comparable to the first Black Sabbath album. This group proved to be an inspirational
source for the lyrics as well, dealing with drugs and the occult. Included were titles like `Lucifer`, `Harmaggedon Dragonlove`, `Witches` Meeting`, `Red Lebanese` and
`Trip`. The mentioned track was the highlight of the album ( from COSMIC DREAMS AT PLAY/ASBJORNSON )
