Buffalo
Volcanic Rock
(Vertigo, 1973; reissue on Aztec, 2005)
Superstrength Aussie riffage applauded by MOJO messageboarder
A beautiful slice of chunky Australian dinosaur rock that sounds way ahead and simultaneously behind its time. Predating the Stoner Rock movement, here we have a punky reductionist hard rock churning out the same stock that beasts such as St Vitus and The Obsessed would call their own, complete with guitar solos straight out of the SST catalog. Heck, the first time I heard 'em I could swear it was Boston area '70s throwback clown punks The Bags. Opening with the uptempo end-times boogie of Sunrise (Come My Way), peaking with the stretched out and improvisatory The Prophet and ending with the dark hard thrash of Shylock, it's an epic ride of dirt-writhing sun god ROCK, easily matched by its hideously humorous album cover depicting a genitalia-free ghoul holding a boulder phallus triumphantly overhead while molten lava flows from beneath the ass cheeks of the volcano. Reputedly their label told them they thought their music sounded better than contemporary Black Sabbath, who were grossing them considerably more income. Who are we to disagree?
