I decided to jam this on Spotify because I'd never heard a full album from these guys, and I gotta say it's some doomy deliciousness with some awesome (albeit strange) vocals. Some songs are very Sabbath-y, while others are full on traditional metal with galloping riffs. I've heard their earlier albums are better, but alas Spotify doesn't have them (go figure ).
Oh, and there's an awesome cover of Arthur Brown's song "Fire" on here that kicks some serious ass!

Been meaning to look into 'em...maybe you can jam 'em and do a discog thread?

If I had their other releases, I probably could. I might just have to jam 'em on YouTube.

I'll do it in all due time, but I'd also like to do a YES discog thread.

They're a great NWOBHM band. Maybe a little over praised now a days, but still pretty good.

Hey, AK. I downloaded their other albums... would you still like me to do the discog thread?

Of course! I still haven't looked into them much but I dig discog threads and you'd do it justice.

This is one of those bands I used to see advertised in metal mags all the time back in the 80s, but I actually never met anyone that owned any of their albums. To this day I still don't think I've heard a single song.
A discog thread would be cool, a good excuse to check them out all these years later.
