The sound of death influenced by The Doors’ darkest impulses. It is impetuous and ambitious while at the same time raw and amateurish. It’s also a deep dive into the mind of a somewhat disturbed person from Pomona, California and, unlike so many others who found solace or catharsis in music, Lead Singer and band founder, Rozz Williams killed himself 14 years later. There’s plenty more of his music in the world, this is but one example. It’s fine but it won’t make you feel good about yourself, the world or anything, really. This is most an excuse for Rozz’s “poetry” and reflections. But, occasionally the band as a whole gives value to the proceedings and they really seem to come in to their own as the album concludes.
