477. Bedemon - Child of Darkness

Genre: Traditional Doom
Origin: USA
Release Date: 2005 (Recorded in ???)
Label: Black Widow Records

Bedemon was basically a side project from the guys in a band called Pentagram. Don't think that this is a copycat band of Pentagram, though. This is great early Doom Metal with a big folk tinge to it. This is a collection of remastered tapes recorded God knows when.

The production is, for the most part, shitty. It wasn't recorded bad on purpose, it's just all the band had at the time. Back in the 70s you couldn't just plug your amp into the soundcard of you computer. You had to record analog, with tape. This is a live recording, I think, and it was recorded in Pentagram's rehearsal room. Kvlt.

However, these "problems" add heavy charisma and a unique touch to the album. The songs are VERY memorable, catchy, and have well written lyrics that read like a folk tale. There is a heavy blues influence as well as the folk influence.

It's not very "intense" and it is pretty relaxing.

Don't blast it in the car. Please.
