    Für mich ist die Volcanic Rock eine der Top 3 Hardrock/ Psych/ Protometal Alben. Neben Irish Coffee und Toad! Meine erste Original Version habe ich in den 90igern für etwa 100DM, heute 50€ gekauft. Für meine jetzige, letzte Woche 800€. Nun ja, ist sie auch wert :-)

      I bought this album new from the Cottontree Music Shop on the Sunshine Coast when it was first released. That's after I already bought the Dead Forever album. The very 1st album I bought was Black Sabbaths Paranoid. So of course that lead me in my musical direction in those very early 1970's days. A great way to grow up during my early teenage years. Still have those albums now, but they are not real pretty to look at, ha ha.😀

        This is a great album I bought a copy for $300 and listened to it once with a mate over beers. Definitely worth getting a copy. If I see another copy going for a good price I will get another one because it is that good!! ☺️

          Amazing album. I am not a specialist of this music genre, but some of the mid-tempo slower tracks here are among the best of what I have heard of this era. Originals are though to find.

            Thundering tough 70's hard rock born out of Aussie suburban pub culture. Big, slow crushing Sabbath-like riffs, monster baritone vocals - early stoner rock. Volcanic!.

              Restricted to a power-trio plus singer and with a new drummer, the band sounds tighter than before. The guitars are more integrated into the sound and no cover versions are played anymore. The black-magical overtones have disappeared and the band is evidently more confident. Even the compositions are a bit more interesting. The opening Sunrise still is absolutely average, but Freedom begins mysteriously and atmospherically, before merging into the well-known and ruthless sledgehammer style. Till my death sounds like Ten Years After with the brakes on. On side B the monotony unfortunately wins the upper hand, with the exception of Intro, that suddenly boasts great melodic guitar parts and is the best on offer here. Shylock that follows suit is too colourless to excite.
