Heavy Goods Vehicle – Keeper Of The Sands & Hand Of Doom (1975-1976) Singles

Loud, super-stoned and super-slowed blues rock, in the tradition of Black Sabbath and Pentagram. Maybe a little bluesier than either of those bands, but just as noisy.
This album totally sounds like garbage, probably demo recordings of some kind, but it’s pretty great because it sounds like they’re breaking the tape deck with their volume. Includes a completely incomprehensible cover of ‘Wild Thing’ that somehow manages to be sloppier than the original. Maybe more proto-doom-metal than proto-punk, but it’s got the spirit.
