Hades. 1992 Colours (1974 recording)
***Reissued by Norsk Album Classics in Jan 2024
This live album (soundboard quality) reminds me a lot of Osanna's L'Uomo, which in itself was a strong play on the early Jethro Tull sound. That is to say blues based heavy rock with aggressive, stuttering flute as the lead instrument. Many time changes also point to the Osanna way of doing things. The Norwegian vocals recall the unique Scandinavian flair found in bands like Host or Trettioariga Kriget. Great fuzz guitar leads as well. Short album (under 25 minutes), but great all the way through.
Priority: 3
