The Human Beast - Volume One

An underrated Heavy Prog album from 1970. Great songs, great sense of humour and a great cover of an Incredible String Band track.

"FROM THE GRINDING RIFF OF THE OPENING TITLE TTRACK..."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on CD booklet cover art to "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath," remastered & re-released under the Sanctuary Records label in 2009. Reissue design: Hugh Gilmour.

""Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" was immediately heralded by the previously reluctant Rolling Stone magazine as "an extraordinarily gripping affair" and "nothing less than a complete success." The album reached Number 4 in the UK charts and 11 in the US charts, where it would go on to achieve Platinum sales success.

From the grinding riff of the opening title track, the album showed that despite the band pushing back musical boundaries, they'd lost none of their aggression. "A National Acrobat" and "Sabbra Cadabra" (the latter, which featured YES keyboard player Rick Wakeman) were equally heavy, imposing tracks, whilst "Killing Yourself to Live" and the sci-fi themed "Spiral Architect" rate as some of the band's best tracks. And even if the excellent title track was curiously rarely featured in the band's live set at the time, the gentle acoustic guitar work of "Fluff" can still be heard as fans file out of Black Sabbath gigs the world over."

The fact that Sleep Token has a line in one of their songs about rose gold chains and sells no rose gold jewelry as merch? A crime.
