Bogeymen - There Is No Such Thing As (1991)

If you were a fan of Masters Of Reality then you'll dig this bluesy, cock swingin' slab of southern rock that is fused togetehr by some boogie on down guitars, swaggering drums, cool keyboards and a tawng of a vocal. It's all very '70s sounding but it's ultra cool all the same, guess that's why I like the honky strut of Salty Dog and less so Fopur Horseman. It's all very infectious, from the cool swagger of 'Killing Ground' to the catchy 'Shake Your Body Armour,' all very much stuck in the past but it's more than happy to stay there. This offers up the stuffy atmosphere of Uriah Heep, the thump of Hendrix and Cream, a bit of Sabbath, and Deep Purple and the fact it features two ex-members of Masters Of Reality means there will be a hint of that here. Good stuff but sadly rather obscure. 7/10
