Epizootic - Daybreak (1976)

 
The one and only album from this band from Sweden.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, glockenspiel, bass, guitars, piano, synths, flute and vocals.

This is a very obscure album released as an LP by the band and I guess sold in local record shops and at their gigs. It was re-released in 1999 on CD by a cottage record label from Germany. 

One of the members, the vocalist, later did the vocals in the Swedish bands Ragnarok and Triangulus.

The music is hard rock with a lot of psych rock elements and some pretty strong jazz influences. There are also some strong Deep Purple influences here too.

The music on this forty minutes long album is very much rooted in the early 1970s hard rock sound and scene.

The vocals is decent while the band does a good job with some good solos. The sound is at best decent. 

It is a bit of a shame that this album is so obscure and un-reviewed as this is not a bad album at all. Some may say this is a charming album.... and I would not disagree with that.
