about

PEARL 002.
Short version:
Four tracks of fuckin' ace doom metal/rock in the spirit of Witchfinder General and Sabbath, recorded in 2007 by a band long gone. Genuine, blasphemous and eccentric, with lovely analogue demo sound.

Long version:
It is thirteen years old now, the RATS demo. Remember vividly how taken aback I was by that Witchfinder General oozing rock pearl “The Preacher’s Wife”. Still am. That shabby CD-R may have looked modest but somehow wiped the floor with nearly all bands around with similar ambitions. What was that final, essential component this bunch - hailing from the town of Linköping, Sweden - had in it? There just was something very genuine and classic in the songwriting and execution, that you wouldn’t hear every day. Resting on a solid foundation of classic Sabbath while indisputably retaining plenty of personality of its own. And embedded in a sound reminiscing that of a private pressed British 7” from ‘79-82. Quite irresistible.

With this humble release I hope for this underground gem to reach a few more of those that should hear it. Now properly mastered (by O. Carlquist at the Black Path studio), the recording comes on pro-tapes with new layout made by the band, lyrics as well as 35 additional seconds of previously unreleased music.
