Hades - Hades (1992)

The one and only album from this band from Norway.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, flute and vocals.

This band appeared, gigged, recorded some of the gigs, released a twenty-four minutes long album with studio and mostly live tracks and then disappeared again. Then they got a bit of a cult status and their LP was then re-released on CD last year on the crowd funded NAK series.

This series has a lot of really good albums. This album is not one of them.

We get twenty-four minutes of a mix of folk rock and hard rock. Jethro Tull meets Atomic Rooster. 

The flutes is everywhere and the vocals is fairly good. The music is raw and as untamed as a wild stallion. The music is hard in other words.

The songs, mostly of them presented as live tracks, is decent enough. The sound is pretty dire.

This is an albm with a cult status and no matter how this album sounds, this band and album will always have a cult status. This despite of this only being a half decent album.

1.5 points
