Lucifer - Black Mass (1971)


WARNING - This is NOT a heavy metal record, BUT, if you want to sacrifice a virgin tonight, or set the mood for a bit of stormy sorcery, then this obscure, crusty record could be for you. Compiled by Mort Garson, this is best described as something akin to a '70s horror movie soundtrack, bereft of vocals yet as disturbing as a majority of metal albums you're likely to hear. Weird, obscure electronica is what escapes from the speakers, and with track titles such as 'Exorcism', 'Evil Eye', 'Black Mass' and 'Witch Trial' I'm sure you'll find something to savour. Rolling n at a spooky-kooky thirty minutes or so, this has all the Gothic quality of a ruinous castle or church bell of doom. Don't expect guitars etc, there's nothing cheesy here, just muzack for those of a mysterious disposition!

7.5/10
