The post did say metal, I call this hard rock myself, but since Led Zeppelin was called Heavy Metal back when I guess this qualifies too: Rainbow, (or Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow as it was for this one album), - "Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow"
I played it mostly because I wanted to hear 'Self portait', although I do love most of the album so, (being impatient), I just skipped 'Man on the Silver Mountain' and played the rest from there.
An obscure 1972 hardrock band from Germany but a DAMN good one !!
I am making a compilation of obscure 70's hardrock bands now, will be
finished in a few days and for share at SS !! There's some fantastic
stuff to discover !
