Buffalo - Volcanic Rock

Alright today im gonna Spotlight one of my favorites.if not my favorite album from the underground scene of the 1970's.The year is 1973.The Band is Buffalo.The Album Volcanic Rock.The country Australia.
This was Buffalo's second and far more superior album.Not many albums have a heavy psych/Proto metal feel a strong as this one.especially considering the time it was recorded.it also has one of my favorite album covers of all time.which garnered quite a bit of controversy in its day.due to the top half of the album having naked man holding a penis shaped rock and the bottom half having.well a lady's bottom half.


The album starts of great with the Hard rockin tune Sunrise (Coming my way)

The second (And in my opinion Best song) Freedom is great for a number of reason.but for some reason the longest song on albums or usually my favorites.and this is no exception.
Then comes The Prophet.which just kicks ass right from the start with that heavy riff.
 And then out of no where they hit me with Shylock.With One of the heaviest Guitar riffs i have ever heard!

 Buffalo had a great album before this one called Dead  Forever.And few good ones after this one.but they remained steady with the they'r popularity in Australia unfortunately never getting popular in america.i dont know what any of the other members have been up to recently but i know Dave Tice (The Singer) recently paired up with mark evans former bassist of AC/DC and they did some show together.Well i would say go by the album.but you know the only you can have it is on vinyl.and that cost about $200.so go get the CD if you can!
