Druid - Vampire Cult (1989) + Four Curses (1986)


Kickass obscure US heavy metal. Ample gated reverb and delay give Vampire Cult a kult, eerie sound that's reinforced by stuff like the droning feedback solo at the end of "Word of the Lord". And, obviously, the album cover's one for the history books. In conclusion, I fucking love this record and you should, too. Plus, I'm gonna throw in the Four Curses EP cause why the hell not.

Track listing:
-Vampire Cult-
1. Word of the Lord
2. Time of Trial
3. Twin Towers
4. Brand New Messiah
5. The Jokes (Take the Thrashers Surfing)
6. Claws

  2. Man... Heavy Metal just went all to shit when they stopped letting middle-schoolers draw the album covers in pencil.
