SIR LORD BALTIMORE – Three studio albums (1970, 1971, 2006) – FLAC

This is an absolute classic. It's without a doubt the best proto-metal album ever. Sure, Black Sabbath's first three albums are heavy as hell and timeless, but this album just blows them out of the water. Sir Lord Baltimore weren't as heavy as Black Sabbath, but that's only because they didn't try as hard to be.

But when they did try, as heard in the title track, they could easily have claimed Black Sabbath's throne. That's mainly because of their genius use of heavy fuzz and numerous guitar overdubs. Black Sabbath, on the other hand, used a relatively conservative amount of fuzz (especially when compared to the already well-established acid rock scene) and mainly relied on heavy, low-pitched riffs and a doomy, dark atmosphere to be heavy. Iommi is definitely brilliant at coming up with heavy riffs, but when it comes to playing guitar in general Louis Dambra is on a different level. It's like comparing Yardbirds-era Eric Clapton to Jimi Hendrix.
This is easily the most deserving album of five stars that I've ever heard.

More Information

Kingdom Come (1970) Released in 1970, Kingdom Come is a great obscure heavy psych gem. Engineered by Eddie Kramer, the album is filled with great stoner rock tunes and heavy guitar riffs reminiscent of early Black Sabbath. Some may find singer John Garner's vocal delivery to be unusual but it does fit in with the music that's on the album.
